Ballinkeel House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1863, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of benchmark-inscribed granite ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having cut-granite stringcourses below shallow pyramidal capping supporting spear head-detailed wrought iron double gates. Now disused. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Ballinkeel House.

A gateway making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a secondary entrance on to the grounds of the Ballinkeel House estate: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).

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