What is recorded here
Gateway, erected c. 1875, comprising a pair tooled carved monolithic limestone gate posts piers (on square plan) with double leaf wrought-iron flat bar gates to entrance. Set back from road with random rubble limestone walls to either side. Located to the southwest of Keenagh village.
This simple gateway makes a positive contribution to the landscape to the southwest of Keenagh. The gate posts are well-crafted using good quality limestone and represent a good example of traditional stonemasonry. The simple traditional wrought-iron flat bar gates adds to its visual appeal. The survival of these vernacular entrances has become increasingly rare in the Irish countryside due to alteration to accommodate modern machinery/road widening schemes etc. The rubble stone boundary walls to either side complete the setting and add to this unassuming composition.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
