Appraisal
An elegantly composed early nineteenth-century screen gateway, notable for the quality of the cast-iron mouldings and ashlar stonework. It forms part of an important group of related structures associated with Glencara House (15401728) and makes for an attractive pair with the attendant gate lodge to the east (15401733).
