Description
Gateway, extant 1939, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of yellow brick quoined piers having rendered pyramidal capping supporting timber boarded double gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Convent of the Good Shepherd.
Appraisal
A gateway making a pleasing visual statement in Irish Town at the entrance on to the grounds of the Convent of the Good Shepherd complex: meanwhile, a weathered benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
