What is recorded here

Gateway, erected c.1850, comprising pair of rubble limestone gate piers on circular plan with flat limestone capstones over and wrought-iron double gates. Located to the northeast of Moyvore and a short distance to the west of the main entrance to Meare's Court.
A good example of rustic vernacular gate piers with associated wrought-iron double gates. Round gate piers of this nature are a North Leinster vernacular tradition and were once extremely common but are now becoming increasingly rare in the Irish countryside. This simple rustic gateway, with associated wrought-iron gates, remains an important and unassuming element of the built heritage of Westmeath.
