What is recorded here
Gateway, built 1879, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of cut-granite monolithic piers having shallow pyramidal capping supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron double gates with cut-granite monolithic outer piers having shallow pyramidal capping supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron railings. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Kilmannock House.
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge attributed to Sir Thomas Drew (1838-1910) of Dublin (Craig and Garner 1975, 62) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Kilmannock House estate. NOTE: An armorial plaque carries the intertwined monogram ("SB") of Captain Samuel Barrett-Hamilton JP DL (1838-1906).
