What is recorded here

Entrance gates, erected c.1900, comprising pair of rusticated dressed limestone gate piers on square-plan having flat limestone capstones over with associated pair of wrought-iron bar gates. Road-fronted, forming entrance to field, to the southeast of Ballynacarrigy.

An appealing and unassuming set of gate piers with associated wrought-iron gates, which display good quality traditional craftsmanship. Simple entrance gates of this nature were once very common features of the rural landscape of Westmeath but are now becoming increasingly rare on account of clearance to accommodate modern agricultural needs and road widening schemes etc. Although construction was primarily functional, they exhibit visual appeal in the rural countryside. This particular example has unusually good quality gate piers and highly appealing wrought-iron gates.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
