Description
Entrance gates to Hallstown House, erected c.1775, comprising pair of roughcast rendered gates piers (on square-plan) having flat cut limestone coping with ball finials over and wrought-iron double gates. Gateway flanked to east and west by sections of roughcast rendered quadrant screen walling having cut limestone coping over. Road fronted to the east of Hallstown House (15401722) with attendant gate lodge adjacent to west.
Appraisal
An appealing, if simply detailed, late eighteenth-century gateway, which retains its historic integrity and form. This modest gateway remains an attractive feature of architectural merit in the rural landscape to the northwest of Ballymore and forms part of an interesting collection of structures associated with Hallstown House (15401722).
