What is recorded here
Entrance gateway to Anne's Grove country house, erected c. 1800, comprising square-profile ashlar limestone piers to vehcicular entrance, having moulded plinths and caps having double-leaf spear-headed cast-iron gates, flanked by S-plan limestone plinth walls with copings and plinth courses and cast-iron spear-headed railings, that to north having cast-iron pedestrian gate, with similar piers terminating outer ends of flanking walls. Limestone channel paving to main gates.
These imposing piers and ornate gates and railings, form the entrance to Anne's Grove. The piers are solidly constructed and form a strong focal point, offset by the undulating spear-headed railings. The level of craftsmanship involved in the construction of these gates is of the highest quality. The gates are a reminder of the skill of local stone masons and metalworkers available in Ireland at the time of their construction. They provide important context to the locality and form an attractive roadside feature.
