What is recorded here

Gateway, erected c. 1880, comprising a pair of rubble limestone gate piers on square-plan having cut stone capstones and a wrought-iron flat bar gate. Located adjacent to road to the south of Granard.

This simple gateway retains it early form and character. Vernacular piers and gates are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland, many have been replaced by mass produced examples. These vernacular gates are notable for their piers which have finely carved limestone caps and serve as a reminder of the skill of late nineteenth-century craftsmanship. This gateway adds incident along a main approach road into Granard from the south and is a worthy addition to the built heritage of the local area.
