An elaborate gateway and entrance screen associated with Cathedral House (15310163). Constructed using good quality ashlar limestone masonry with the high quality ironwork further embellishing the aesthetics of this fine composition. The style of the piers and the ironwork is typical of the period of construction. The lantern arches over the pedestrian entrances add a distinctive character, which greatly increases the visual impact of this gateway. This entrance screen is a notable feature along the north side of Bishop’s Gate Street and a worthy addition to the built heritage of Mullingar.
