Ballinafad House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1894, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of tuck pointed drag edged tooled limestone ashlar piers having lichen-covered cut-limestone shallow pyramidal capping supporting "Fleur-de-Lys"-detailed wrought iron double gates. Now disused. Road fronted on a corner site at entrance to grounds of Ballinafad House.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Ballinafad House estate, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
