What is recorded here

Quadrant south entrance gateway to Ballinahinch Castle, built c.1850, with vehicular entrance and one pedestrian entrance. Rock-faced granite sweep walls and piers with stepped cement-topped copings supporting decorative cast-iron railings and gates. Piers have tooled margins and cement copings. Camber-headed pseudo-lights to piers flanking entrances. Piers to road have blind openings.
This imposing gateway is indicative of the wealth, influence and importance of the Ballynahinch estate. The gateway forms a significant group with the accompanying gate lodge. Good-quality craftsmanship is evident in the stonework and ironwork.

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