What is recorded here

Carriage arch opening and pedestrian opening set in rubble limestone screen wall, built c.1800, with limestone coping. Single and pair of wrought-iron gates with limestone wheel guards to vehicular entrance.
This entrance formerly lead to a purpose-built market place, which was the centre of commercial and social activity in the town. The market house and yard were moved here in the early eighteenth century by the Earl of Bective. The entrance is a notable and positive addition 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.
