Description
Entrance gates to St Mary's Church of Ireland church, built c.1824, comprising pair of cut limestone gate piers of square plan with chamfered arises and cut limestone 'gablet' coping over and a pair of cast-iron double gates. Now out of use. Set into coursed rubble limestone boundary/demesne wall adjacent to St. Mary's Church and to the east of Ballynagall House.
Appraisal
A good quality set of gates and gate piers with an appropriate ecclesiastical character. The unusual stone copping to the piers is of an interesting design and adds to the overall architectural setting of St. Mary's Church. This gateway is set into the estate wall surrounding the former Ballynagall Demesne, forming part of an important collection of related structures.
