What is recorded here
Elaborate quadrant entrance gateway, built c.1805, comprising square-profile ashlar limestone piers with plinths, copings and hemispherical tops flanking vehicular and pedestrian gates, latter flanked by ashlar limestone walling, and with curving ashlar limestone walls terminating in similar piers. Cast-iron double-leaf central gates and decorative cast-iron pedestrian gates. Two mature trees symmetrically planted to front line of gateway.
This elaborate gateway is a prominent feature on the roadside between Cashel and Tipperary Town. The quadrant plan and the nature of the stone piers form a monumental architectural statement. Apparent artistry and skill is seen in the qulaity of carving of the ashlar stoenwork of the piers and walls and also in the cast-iron gates. The presence of mature trees in the composition is notable.
