What is recorded here
Limestone gate piers, erected c.1800, at avenue to Greenville House. Comprising pair of octagonal tooled limestone piers flanking roadway, with curvilinear decorative wrought-iron railing panela with quatrefoil motif set on limestone plintha leading to outer matching piers. Octagonal bases to piers, moulded string course, and octagonal flat pier caps above moulded cornices. Set at roadside with curvilinear random rubble kerb with pier base at centre, decorative wrought-iron railing panel leading to rendered boundary wall to either side.
This ornate gateway presents a grand entrance to a modest country house and adds a point of visual interest to the N63, the main Galway to Roscommon road. Together with the house and its fine outbuilding, this gateway forms an interesting group.
