Road fronted at entrance to grounds of James Stephens (Kilkenny City) Military Barracks.
Occupying a prominent position at the entrance to the James Stephens (Kilkenny City) Military Barracks complex an elegantly-composed gateway displaying high quality stone masonry makes an imposing visual statement in the street scene.
