What is recorded here
Field gate, erected c.1875, comprising a pair of cut limestone gate posts, on octagonal plan having pyramidal heads, supporting a pair of wrought-iron bar gates. Rubble limestone boundary walls to the east and west. Located to the northeast of Ballinderry House (15403017) and to the northeast of Moate.
A simple yet appealing gateway, displaying good quality traditional craft workmanship, which is a subtle and unassuming element of the built heritage of Westmeath. It is well constructed using nicely carved limestone gate posts and retains a good set of traditional wrought-iron bar gates. Simple but robust gateways of this nature were once a very common in the rural landscape but are particularly vulnerable to modernisation and loss.
