Description

Two pairs of ashlar limestone gate piers, built c.1745, with cast-iron double and single gates. Chamfered ashlar limestone with carved detailing and caps. Set in dressed limestone walls.

Appraisal

These entrance gates form part of an interesting group with Drewstown House, outbuildings and the remains of the walled garden. Of apparent architectural design, these piers were clearly executed by skilled masons and exhibit finely carved detailing. Located at a road junction, these entrance gates make a notable and positive contribution to the surrounding area.
