What is recorded here
Main entrance to Barrettstown House (15402540), erected c.1875, comprising two sets of two ashlar limestone gate posts, on octagonal plan with moulded coping over, linked by sections of ashlar limestone plinth walling having cast-iron railings over with spear finials. Inner piers support cast-iron gates. Located to the east of Barrettstown House (15402540) and to the southwest of Mullingar.
An elaborate and elegant set of entrance gates serving Barrettstown House (15402540) to the west. They are well-built using high quality ashlar limestone masonry and retain highly decorative cast-iron gates and railings of artistic merit. This gateway is of grand proportions and eclipses the house itself in terms of architectural promise. These gates make a strong visual statement along the roadscape to the southwest of Mullingar and form part of an important collection of structures associated with the Barrettstown House.
