Description
Gateway, extant 1896, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of drag edged tooled cut-limestone octagonal piers on plinths having cornices below capping supporting "Lotus"-detailed cast-iron double gates with paired drag edged tooled cut-limestone octagonal outer piers on plinths having cornices below capping supporting "Lotus"-detailed cast-iron railings. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Carrowmore House.
Appraisal
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Carrowmore House estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
