Description
Gateway, extant 1894, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of vermiculated-banded limestone ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having stringcourses below capping supporting "Lotus"-detailed cast-iron double gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Loughmask House.
Appraisal
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 31312003) 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 Loughmask House estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
