Description
Entrance gates, erected c. 1880, comprising rubble limestone circular-profile piers with crenellated dressed stone capping, rubble limestone walls with roughly-dressed stone coping and having decorative cast-iron gates.
Appraisal
The proportion of these piers is notable, being remarkably broad for their height, giving an impression of strength, reinforced by the crenellated caps. Wide cylindrical piers were often used in vernacular yards throughout Munster, but here the craftsmanship in evidence is typical of the high status accorded to the entrances of large residences.
