What is recorded here
Gateways and section of boundary wall, erected c.1810, comprising two pairs of gate piers on square plan with replacement wrought-iron gates linked by a section of ashlar limestone plinth walling with cast-iron railings over. Gate piers constructed of tooled ashlar limestone with ashlar pyramidal capping over.
An attractive set of good quality gate piers with ornate cast-iron railings. This subtle feature is all that remains extant of Saint James's Catholic Church, a T-plan chapel built c.1805 and given a Gothic remodelling in 1889. This church was demolished c.1980. These fine gates and associated boundary walling remains an appealing feature to the east of the Kilbeggan, adding historical interest and a picturesque quality to the streetscape.
