What is recorded here

Gateway, erected c.1820, comprising a pair of dressed limestone piers on square-plan with cut-stone coping over and chamfered plinths to base supporting wrought-iron double gates. Pedestrian entrance with ashlar block-and-start surround and wrought-iron gate set in short section of rubble stone wall to immediate north of main entrance. Forms entrance to extensive complex of outbuildings to southwest of Kinturk House (15302016).
This gateway is an attractive composition, which retains most of its original form and character. The construction of the piers and the ashlar surround to the pedestrian entrance attests to high quality stone masonry. It forms part of an important group of demesne-related structures associated with Kinturk House (15302016) and it contributes positively to the architectural heritage of north Westmeath.
