What is recorded here
Gateway, extant 1837, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having corbelled stepped cornices on fluted friezes below fluted domed capping supporting cast-iron double gates with granite ashlar outer piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Johnstown House.
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in Johnstown Road at the entrance on to the grounds of the Johnstown House estate, but also surviving as a relic of the earlier house occupied (1778) by Love Hiatt (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland 1891, 242) and (1801) by Major Armstrong (Archer 1801, 104).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
