What is recorded here
Entrance gate to former Mote Park demesne, c. 1800, consisting of a Doric triumphal arch surmounted by a lion with screen walls linking it to a pair of identical lodges.
It has been suggested that this was designed by James Gandon. While this is feasible, certain elements, most notably the head and keystone of the arch, appear to be of a later date and have a provincial character.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
