What is recorded here
Entrance gates serving Glenmore House (15311001), erected c.1870, comprising a central pair of open work cast-iron gate posts (on square-plan) supporting cast-iron double gates. Gateway flanked to either side by brick plinth walls (on quadrant-plan) having cut stone coping and cast-iron railings over and terminated by brick piers (on square-plan) with capstones over. Rubble stone boundary walls run away to either side (east and west). Located to the north of Glenmore House (15311001) and to the east side of Mullingar.
An appealing and highly decorative gate screen, which forms a suitably fine entrance to Glenmore House (15311001). This gateway is distinguished by the fine cast-iron open work gate posts and cast-iron railings, which are of artistic merit. This gateway may have been added a number of years after the house itself was completed. The robust rubble limestone boundary walls add to this composition and complete the setting. This gateway and associated walls add attractive incident to the main approach road into Mullingar from the east.
