What is recorded here
Principal entrance to demesne, c.1775, with pair of channelled granite ashlar gate piers having Coade stone roundels to cap stones. Replacement sliding gate. Set in random rubble boundary wall, stretching from Vesey Bridge to former Lucan Parish School, of three to six metres in height, with 'Famine hole' to southern extreme. Pedestrian cast-iron gate with granite lintel set in wall at eastern extreme.
An elegant, well-designed entrance gateway which complements the architectural style of the main house beyond. The flanking sections of boundary wall are appropriately forbidding for a demesne of this importance, and remain an integral part of the estate, as well as adding character and interest to this approach to the village centre.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
