What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1771, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of part creeper- or ivy-covered piers having ball finial-topped "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed cornice capping. Now disused. Set in unkempt grounds.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene at a secondary entrance on to the grounds of the Loftus Hall estate, but also surviving as a repurposed relic of the seventeenth-century estate as evidenced by a sketch (1835-6) by Charles Newport Bolton (1816-84) of County Waterford (cf. 15705404).

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