What is recorded here
Entrance sweep, built c.1720, comprising snecked dressed limestone walls with square-profile piers having square limestone caps. Central vehicular entrance flanked by pedestrian gates. Eastern pedestrian gate now blocked with dressed limestone blocks. Vehicular and western pedestrian gates having wrought-iron single- and double-leaf gates. Located north-west of house, forming rear entrance.
These gates are an attractive feature of the Garrettstown House and retain much of their original historic character. The wrought-iron gates are of a delicate and artistically interesting design, while the walls display fine stone craftsmanship. The entrance forms part of a significant group of demesne related structures which indicate the scale and wealth of the Garrettstown estate in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
