What is recorded here
Gateway, c.1760, comprising four limestone ashlar piers with cut-stone capping having globe finials, iron double gates and iron flanking pedestrian gates with spear-head finials.
This gateway, announcing the entrance of the grounds of the Church of Ireland church, is a fine feature on the streetscape of Leinster Street. The construction of the piers in limestone ashlar is a good example of the high quality of stone masonry practised in the locality. The gates are an attractive example of early surviving decorative iron work.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
