Description
Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of gritdashed roughcast piers having Irish battlemented capping supporting spear head-detailed wrought iron double gates with gritdashed roughcast outer piers having Irish battlemented capping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Bargy Castle.
Appraisal
A gateway forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside an opposing ruined gate lodge (see 157047--) with the resulting ensemble not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a secondary entrance on to the grounds of the Bargy Castle estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate by Major John Harvey (1816-80).
