Description
Entrance gateway serving Lough Ree Lodge, built c.1815. Entrance gates comprise two pairs of carved stone gate posts (on square-pan) having recessed panels with cut limestone coping over. Inner and outer gate piers are linked by sections of rubble limestone screen walling (on quadrant plan) to the east and the west. Original gates are now gone/removed. Located to the southeast of Lough Ree Lodge (15402211) and to the west of Glassan.
Appraisal
A simple but appealing set of entrance gates formerly associated with Lough Ree Lodge (15402211). The gate posts are well carved in a subdued neoclassical idiom and displays good traditional craftsmanship. This gateway remains an interesting feature in the landscape, making a pleasing visual statement along the roadscape to the west of Glassan.
