What is recorded here
Gateway, c.1830, comprising four rusticated granite ashlar piers with moulded cornices, blocking courses and globe finials having cast-iron double gates to centre with oak leaf finials and cast-iron flanking pedestrian gates. Roughcast boundary wall to remainder of boundary with sections of iron railings.
This gateway is a fine and imposing structure of considerable architectural/artistic importance, which fronts directly on to the road in the heart of the village of Kill. The construction of the gate piers in granite ashlar reveals the high quality of stone masonry practised in the locality, and this is especially evident in the fine detailing that has retained its crisp intricacy. The gates, both vehicular and pedestrian, are a fine example of early surviving decorative cast-iron work and the oak leaf finials are a particularly unusual feature.
