What is recorded here
Entrance gateway to Ballydoogan House, erected c.1820, comprising square-plan tooled limestone piers with carved cornices and stepped caps, flanked by lower matching piers, with replacement mild steel double-leaf gate, and wrought-iron single-leaf pedestrian gates. Rendered flanking walls, with wrought-iron pedestrian gate with rendered piers to garden of gate lodge. Latter is single-storey, three-bay, with pitched slate roof and rendered walls, rebuilt c.1980.
These gates are the main entrance to Ballydoogan House, which never had a walled estate. The tooled limestone work is of good quality, and the lower outer piers of the pedestrian gates show hierarchy as well as symmetry.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
