Gates in Dalystown

Section of dry stone field/boundary wall, erected c. 1800. Constructed of roughly coursed random rubble stone having vertical limestone coping over. Located adjacent to road, to the north of Granard.

An attractive and well-executed dry stone wall exhibiting the fine craftsmanship of vernacular building. The survival of walls of this construction is increasingly rare in the Irish countryside, making this a rare surviving example of a once ubiquitous type. It adds visual appeal to its rural location, and is a worthy, if unassuming, addition to the built heritage of the local area.
