Description
Gateway, erected c.1850, comprising a pair of ashlar limestone gate piers (on square-plan) having recessed square-headed panels and moulded capstones with lingas, mortar shells or a stone blacmange motifs over. Now forms the entrance to a modern building and with modern gates. Located on the south side of the Delvin Road and to the northeast of Mullingar.
Appraisal
An unusual pair of well-built ashlar limestone gate piers with idiosyncratic detailing, now acting as an architectural curiosity along the Delvin Road to the northwest of Mullingar. This gateway was probably moved to its present location but remains a feature of some artistic merit in the streetscape.
