What is recorded here

Entrance gates, erected c.1860, comprising a pair of dressed limestone gate piers (on square-plan having chamfered plinth to base and recessed coping over) supporting a pair of cast-iron gates to fleur-de-lis finials. Gateway flanked to either side (north and south) by sections of rubble limestone walling. Gates now give access to house, built c.1900. Located to the north side of Ballymore along approach avenue serving St. Owen’s Church of Ireland church.
A robust gateway, which retains its early form and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Ballymore. It is built using good quality dressed limestone masonry while the fine cast-iron gates further embellish the aesthetics of this feature. This gateway appears to be earlier than the house it now serves, suggesting that it was originally built to serve an earlier building onsite or, perhaps, that it was moved to this location from another site.

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