What is recorded here
Entrance gateway, built c.1775, comprising advanced central round-arched carriage opening with portico, flanked by round-arch pedestrian entrances, in turn flanked by pilasters and roughly-coursed rubble limestone boundary walls. Snecked rubble limestone walling, with cut limestone portico with scrolls, archivolts and imposts and dressed quoins and surrounds to pedestrian openings.
This finely-built stone gateway is of apparent architectural design and executed by skilled craftsmen. It presents an impressive entrance to the rebuilt Kilboy House and is a conspicuous landmark on the Dolla to Silvermines road.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
