What is recorded here

Entrance gates, erected c.1850. Comprising two pairs of decorative cast-iron gate pillars, joined by curved sections of cast-iron railings with spear finials over brick and coursed stone plinth walls with cut limestone coping. Original cast-iron double gates now removed. Pillars are square in plan with decorative applied cast designs and decorative ogee-shaped caps with spear finial over. Cast-iron pedestrian gate built into south section of flanking railings, approached by flight of cut stone steps. Located at front entrance to Willifield House, to the north of Ballynacarrigy.
A handsome mid nineteenth-century gateway with intricate cast-iron decoration, which is of artistic merit. The semi-concealed pedestrian entrance, built into the railings to the north, is an unusual and noteworthy feature. It forms part of a interesting group of structures associated with Willifield House and remains an attractive feature on the main approach road in Ballynacarrigy from the north.
