What is recorded here

Quadrant gateway to Grantstown Hall, comprising paired Gothic Revival castellated gate piers on circular plan, of ashlar limestone construction, built c. 1870, having decorative double-leaf wrought-iron gates to central vehicular opening. Castellated walls linking paired piers, constructed of roughly coursed limestone and having pointed arch pedestrian entrances with decorative wrought-iron pedestrian gates. Stepped castellated roughly coursed limestone walls continue diagonally from outer piers, terminating in castellated ashlar limestone gate piers on circular plan.
This robust monumental Gothic Revival gate, of substantial limestone construction with delicate wrought-iron detailing, is representative of the imaginative novelty and craftsmanship of the mid-nineteenth century. The gateway forms a grand and imposing entrance announcing the presence of Grantstown Hall beyond.
