Main entrance gateway and boundary walls serving Cartroncar House (13401503), erected c. 1832. Gateway comprises a pair of cast-iron openwork gate piers, gates now missing. Gateway flanked to either side by sections of roughly squared rubble limestone boundary wall having crenellated coping over. Gateway located to the southeast of house, boundary walls to the south and west. Road-fronted to the southwest of Granard.
This gateway and boundary walls were originally built to serve, and provide entrance to, Cartroncar House (13401503). The gate piers are of an unusual design, although the gates are now missing. The boundary walls provide a pleasing entrance, being curved away from the gateway. The rubble limestone is a modest example of early-to-mid nineteenth century craftsmanship and adds visual appeal along two roads in the rural countryside to the southwest of Granard. This simple gateway and the boundary walls form part of a group of related structures associated with Cartroncar House, along with the main house, outbuildings (13401504) and walled garden (13401505) to the northwest, and is an integral element of the built heritage of the local area.
