Appraisal
These simple sweeping sections of wrought-iron boundary railing were erected to separate the grounds of Ardagh House (13312039) from the surrounding farmland of the estate. Their survival adds interest to the Ardagh House demesne as nineteenth-century railings of their kind are becoming increasingly rare survivals. These railings and gates form an integral element of the Ardagh House (13312039) demesne, adding context and visual interest to the complex.
