What is recorded here
A pair of tooled stone gate piers forming part of the main entrance gates serving Kinturk House (15302016), built c.1821. Gate piers on square-plan having moulded bases and moulded capstones over. Now incorporated into screen gates (on crescent-plan), erected c.1935, comprising rendered walls having simple wrought-iron railings over. Located to the southeast of Castlepollard and to the northeast of St. Peter’s Centre (15302045).
An interesting pair of well-carved cut stone gate piers, originally associated with Kinturk House (15302016). These piers probably date to the rebuilding of Kinturk House in the 1820s but their forms hints that they could be earlier, perhaps late eighteenth-century in date. Although now embedded in a later screen gateway, these appealing gate piers are a fine example of the stonemason’s art and add interest to the streetscape to the southeast of Castlepollard.
