Gateway, extant 1840, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of rusticated granite ashlar piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed cornices below fluted pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron railings with paired rusticated granite ashlar outer piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed cornices below capping supporting wrought iron pedestrian gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Ballyanne House.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Ballyanne House estate, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the estate following the demolition (1943) of the eponymous country house (see 15702925), '[a] handsome seat…finely situated on the brow of a richly wooded eminence [commanding] an extensive prospect' (Lewis 1837 I, 122).
