Description
Pair of square-profile cast-iron piers set in limestone plinths, erected c. 1870, having wrought-iron panels with acanthus motifs, cast-iron fluted caps having finials and ornate double-leaf cast-iron gates. Sweeping ornate cast-iron railings set in limestone plinths terminating in second pair of cast-iron square-profile piers with round-headed recessed panels and fluted caps having finials.
Appraisal
These ornate gates, which form a notable feature in the roadscape, are particularly well designed and are of apparent artistic design merit. The piers and railings are indicative of high quality craftsmanship and serve as a reminder of the skill of blacksmiths and artisans available in Ireland at the time of their construction.
