Description
Gateway, extant 1902, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of cut-granite monolithic piers supporting ogee-detailed wrought iron double gates with cut-granite monolithic outer piers supporting ogee-detailed wrought iron gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Raheenduff House.
Appraisal
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 15704021) with the resulting ensemble not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Raheenduff House estate, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the nineteenth century.
