What is recorded here
Entrance, erected c.1880, comprising channelled rendered gate piers and walls with coping. Cruciform-profile gate piers having moulded panelled friezes and cappings with decorative foliated scrolls. Replacement double-leaf galvanized-steel gates with earlier makers' name plate attached, reading 'C.F. Fielding & Co. Makers Cork'.
This convent entrance has been designed to form a handsome roadside feature while at the same time not dominating the general urban landscape. It is further enhanced by the use of decorative crestings, which are subtle in scale but create a strong visual impact. The structure's scale, materials, form and craftsmanship make a positive contribution to the streetscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
