What is recorded here

Freestanding limestone ashlar gate to the People's Park [Pery Square], erected in 1876, to the northwest corner of the park, based on the design of a triumphal arch. A central round arch springs from robust inner Doric piers with a profiled archivolt and carved keystone. A parapet entablature rises above this central arch and is heavily inscribed to read: 'Pery Square. This public park was formed by subscription. In memory of Richard Russell the land being given by the Right Honble. The Earl of Limerick'. Wrought-iron gates hang from the inner gateway, each having cast-iron spearhead finials. Screen walls to sides terminated by Doric piers and having parapet entablature accommodate flanking round-arch pedestrian gate openings on a smaller scale with wrought-iron gates having cast-iron spearhead finials and detailing.
