Gateway, extant 1838, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of drag edged rusticated limestone ashlar octagonal piers on plinths having "Cavetto"-detailed beaded cornices on rosette-detailed panelled friezes on stringcourses below capping supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron double gates with drag edged rusticated limestone ashlar outer piers on plinths having "Cavetto"-detailed beaded cornices on panelled friezes on stringcourses below capping supporting arrow head-detailed cast-iron railings. Installed, 1962. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception.
A gateway reclaimed from the Bloomfield House estate making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the architecturally-undistinguished Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception. NOTE: An identical gateway was similarly repurposed (1952) at the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Sorrows (1952) in Robeen (see 31311012).

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