What is recorded here
Gateway and boundary wall, erected c.1840, comprising a pair of gate piers on square-plan with flanking sections of rubble limestone boundary walling (on crescent/quadrant plan) to north and south. Gate piers constructed of cut limestone over projecting plinth with shallow pyramidal capping over. Flanking walls terminated with rubble limestone gate piers on square-plan. Located at north end of Tyrrellspass, forming the north entrance to the former Belvedere Orphan Institution.
An attractive composition of simple appearance, which forms a subtle feature in the streetscape to the north of Tyrrellspass. This gateway forms the northern entrance to the former Belvedere Orphan Institute, a charitable institution created at the bequest of Jane, Countess of Belvedere (died 1836).
