Sleedagh, gates in County Wexford

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

What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having "slated" pyramidal capping supporting cast-iron double gates with granite ashlar outer piers on chamfered plinths having "slated" pyramidal capping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Sleedagh.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a long obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Sleedagh estate, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the estate following the recent (2007) demolition of the eponymous farmhouse.
