What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1909, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of rendered panelled tapered piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having cornices below shallow pyramidal capping supporting crocketed cast-iron double gates with rendered panelled tapered outer piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having cornices below shallow pyramidal capping supporting crocketed cast-iron serpentine railings. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Cuilin.
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Cuilin estate, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate by Charles Lawrence Toole (d. 1875) of Wilford House (see 60260164; Pearson 1998, 38).
