What is recorded here
Pair of cylindrical rendered gate piers, c.1870, of squared limestone with conical cement capping. Five-bar wrought-iron gate with arched bar. Former entrance to farm house beyond, now demolished.
A fine intact example of a type of vernacular gateway peculiar to this area of County Dublin. Preserves the old road line and is now set back from the re-aligned section.
