Ballinacor House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Main entrance gates to Ballynacor House (now demolished), erected c.1740, comprising a pair of dressed limestone gate piers, on square-plan, with cut stone ball finial over. Cast-iron gate with finials to west side with concrete pier and wall to east side. Located to the northwest of the site of Ballynacor House and to the east of Ballymore.

The impressive remnant of the former main entrance to Ballynacor House, now demolished. This gateway is well-built and robustly scaled, and is an appealing element in the landscape to the east of Ballymore. Enough survives of this gateway to give a good idea of the original grandeur of this site. These gates appear to be quite early, probably of mid-eighteenth date, and now act as an historical reminder of Ballynacor House. It is an interesting addition to the architectural heritage of Westmeath. Ballinacor House was in the ownership of a branch the Nugent Family in the early-to-mid nineteenth-century and was in the ownership of a Charles Hall in 1870.
