What is recorded here

Gateway, c. 1900, comprising a pair of tooled limestone gate posts and a pair of wrought-iron flat bar gates with wrought-iron detailing. Set slightly back from road, and located in the rural landscape to the northeast of Drumlish.

A simple yet appealing vernacular gateway, displaying good quality traditional craft workmanship, which is a subtle and unassuming element of the built heritage of rural County Longford. It is well constructed using nicely carved limestone gate posts and retains a good set of traditional wrought-iron flat bar gates with some decorative flourishes. Simple but robust gateways of this nature were, until recently, very common in the rural landscape but are particularly vulnerable to modernisation and loss, and are regularly replaced with mass produced examples.
