Description
Gateway, extant 1904, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron gate with granite ashlar outer piers having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping. Now disused. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Ballymore House.
Appraisal
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a long-obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Ballymore House estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
