What is recorded here

Entrance gates, erected c. 1880, comprising rubble limestone circular-profile piers with crenellated dressed stone capping, rubble limestone walls with roughly-dressed stone coping and having decorative cast-iron gates.

The proportion of these piers is notable, being remarkably broad for their height, giving an impression of strength, reinforced by the crenellated caps. Wide cylindrical piers were often used in vernacular yards throughout Munster, but here the craftsmanship in evidence is typical of the high status accorded to the entrances of large residences.

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