What is recorded here

Quadrant entrance gates to Ardgeeha House, erected c. 1900, comprising vehicular entrance flanked by pedestrian entrances. Square profile carved granite piers, each with plinth having moulded coping, shaft having chamfered moulded corners and panels with reticulated decoration flanking round panel with floral motifs, bosses to frieze and pedimented moulded caps. Ornate cast-iron gates, double-leaf to vehicular entrance and similar railings to rendered flanking walls terminating in square-profile rendered piers.

These gates add artistic interest to the busy Cashel Road into Clonmel. While highly decorative and elaborately carved, the overall form of the piers is sober and simple, giving an impression of solidity. The use of granite adds to this impression of strength and the high ratio of solid to void in the cast-iron of the gates provides an impression of strength and impenetrability. The skilled craftsmanship in cutting and carving the stone is immediately apparent.
