Rockcliffe House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Boundary walls and entrance gates, built c.1800. Rendered boundary wall to outer square-profile ashlar limestone piers with limestone ashlar sweep walls to inner square-profile ashlar piers having recessed panels, plinths and decorative carved caps with fan motif. Pair of square-headed pedestrian gates with plain architrave surrounds flank vehicular gates. Cast-iron gates with floral motifs and spear-heads to both pedestrian and vehicular entrances.

The elegance and craftsmanship of this entrance contributes to the streetscape of the area. It has sculptural qualities in the use of grey Cork limestone and artistic qualities in the ornamentation of the cast-iron gates. An elaborate entrance such as this, along with others on the road, signals the presence of large houses.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
