What is recorded here

Gateway, erected c.1860, comprising pair of cut limestone gate posts, on hexagonal plan, with pyramidal heads. Posts support pair of wrought-iron bar gates. Stone wheel guard to base of pillar to south. Road fronted at entrance to modernised house. Located immediately to the north of Bellmount Canal Bridge (15401801).

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.
