What is recorded here
Gateway, extant 1904, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron gate with granite ashlar outer piers having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping. Now disused. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Ballymore House.
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a long-obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Ballymore House estate, but also 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.
