What is recorded here

Gateway, erected c.1850, comprising cut stone gate posts on octagonal plan with pyramidal-shaped coping and a pair of decorative cast-iron and wrought-iron double gates, having arrow head finials to vertical bars and central petal detail. Road-fronted with heavily altered/rebuilt former gate lodge, originally serving Willifield House, to the south and by a coursed (dry) rubble limestone wall to the north.
An attractive pair of mid nineteenth-century gates, possibly associated with a former gate lodge (adjacent to south-west), which originally served Willifield House. Indeed, they may be the original gates serving Willifield house before the present gates (15307005) were erected c. 1850. The combination of cut limestone piers with both cast-iron and wrought-iron decorative elements is an unusual feature. This gateway remains an attractive feature on the main approach into Ballynacarrigy from the north.
