What is recorded here
Gateway, c.1740, comprising pair of sandstone ashlar panelled piers with moulded cornices having domed capping over with finials, decorative wrought iron double gates, and square-headed flanking pedestrian gateways with decorative wrought iron gates having sandstone ashlar voussoirs over, and cut-stone coping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Mountain Castle.
An elegant gateway forming an imposing feature at the entrance to the grounds of Mountain Castle. The construction of the piers, together with the finely-carved detailing, is indicative of high quality stone masonry and craftsmanship, while the early-surviving decorative wrought iron gates enhance the artistic design quality of the composition.
