Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of cut-granite monolithic piers on stepped plinths having shallow pyramidal capping supporting finial-topped wrought iron double gates with benchmark-inscribed cut-granite monolithic outer piers having rounded capping supporting wrought iron railings. Street fronted at entrance to grounds of Camolin House.
A gateway forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 15609012) with the resulting ensemble not only making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the Camolin House estate following the demolition (1967) of the eponymous country house rebuilt (1864-5) for Arthur William Grattan Guinness (1827-69) to a design by Sir Thomas Newenham Deane (1827-99) of Upper Merrion Street, Dublin (O'Dwyer 1997, 389).
