What is recorded here
Former main entrance to Redmonstown House (now demolished), erected c.1800, comprising four ashlar limestone gate piers, having projecting vermiculated banding and stepped ashlar limestone coping over, connected by curved section of rubble limestone walling. Inner piers support pair of wrought-iron gates. Located to the south of Loughanavally and to the north of the site of Redmonstown House.
An elegant and well-detailed gateway, which now acts as an historical reminder of Redmondstown House, now demolished. The form of this gate suggests that it may be late eighteenth-century in origin. Redmondstown House was associated with the Tisdell Family c.1860. This lone surviving element of this former demesne is a physical reminder of the fate suffered by many of Ireland's country houses. It is an appealing, if rather isolated, feature in the landscape to the south of Loughanavally, and is a worthy addition to the architectural heritage of the local area.
