What is recorded here

Entrance gates and boundary walls serving Derreen House (13307002), erected c. 1850. Comprises a pair of roughly dressed limestone gate piers (on square-plan) having crenellated limestone coping over, flanked to either side (north and south) by sections of squared rubble limestone boundary walls. Dressed limestone stile built into boundary wall to the north of gateway. Modern timber gate to entrance. Located to the north of Cloondara and to the west of Derreen House.
These simple but well-constructed gate piers and boundary walls add interest to the roadscape to the north of Cloondara. The contrast between dressed and rubble limestone creates an appealing appearance. The dressed limestone stile to the north of the gateway adds additional interest and is a comparatively rare survival. They form part of a group of related structures, along with Derreen House (13307002) and the associated outbuildings (13307003), and are an addition to the built heritage of the local area.
