What is recorded here

Principal service entrance to demesne, c.1790. Pair of coursed and quarry-faced limestone gate piers with niches to rere, capstones and urns. Sheet metal gates. Pedestrian gateway to either side with ashlar and quarry-faced block and start pointed surrounds. Timber tongue and groove doors. Flanking rubble stone quadrant screen walls, each with a three-bay single-storey gate house to convex side having brick and rubble walls, pointed timber casement windows or blind openings, quarry-faced block and start surround to door, and curved pitched slate roof with single chimney stack.

A vigorously treated and imposing entrance ensemble, with a loosely Picturesque articulation. A key element of both Lucan Demesne and the streetscape, its materials echoing those used elsewhere in the vicinity. Easternmost gate house formerly used as a dairy from which dairy products could be distributed to the town.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
