What is recorded here
Freestanding stone quadrant entrance gateway, built c.1810, comprising central castellated carriage arch flanked by turrets and screen wall to south side. Carriageway comprises a four-centred Tudor-style arch supported by corbels with parapet, two single-leaf stone stringcourses and brick crenellations. Octagonal rubble turrets with projecting crenellated parapet flank carriageway and section of screen wall with blind loop and two crenellations remaining. Previously formed entrance to Glen Mervyn House.
A landmark in the village of Glanmire as it is approached from the south, this eye-catching entrance displays the decorative qualities of the 'gothick' style of the nineteenth century, using motifs from medieval domestic building in largely classical forms.
