Cloonfin House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gateway, built c. 1820, originally serving Cloonfin/Clonfin House (demolished). Comprising a pair of dressed ashlar limestone gate piers (on square-plan) having chamfered plinths and capstones, and with wrought-iron double gates. Gateway flanked to either side by sections of coursed limestone rubble walls. Set back from road to the southwest of Granard. Located to the southeast of the site of Cloonfin/Clonfin House with attendant gate lodge (13401017) located adjacent to the north.

This elegant gateway exhibits fine limestone craftsmanship and once formed a main entrance to the now demolished Cloonfin/Clonfin House. The simple but well-crafted wrought-iron gates add to the setting and are a good example of the skill of nineteenth century ironmongers/craftsmen. This gate way and its associated entrance gate lodge (13401017) form an attractive pair in the rural landscape to the southwest of Granard, and represent part of a wider group of structures associated with Cloonfin/Clonfin House (demolished) and the Thompson family who lived there throughout the nineteenth century. This gateway may have been narrowed in width c. 1900 (map information).
