Description
Gateway in a Greek Revival style serving Dysart House, erected c.1850, comprising four tapered round-headed cast-iron posts on square-plan with shell motifs with central cast-iron double gates flanked by sections of fixed cast-iron railings with bars forming slender diamond-type pattern. Located to the southeast of Dysart House (15401314) and to the northeast of attendant gate lodge (15401315).
Appraisal
A well-executed and a appealing set of mid nineteenth-century cast-iron gates in a flamboyant Greek Revival design. These gates are an attractive feature in the landscape to the southwest of Delvin and form part of an interesting group of buildings associated with Dysart House (15401314) along with the attendant gate lodge (15401315) to the northwest.
