Description
Pair of channelled ashlar limestone gate piers surmounted by urns, built c.1770, flanked by pedestrian openings with channelled limestone surrounds. Set in rubble stone demesne walls. Single and pair of wrought-iron gates. Three-bay single-storey gate lodge to site.
Appraisal
These gates form part of an interesting group of demesne related structures with Headfort House, outbuildings, stable, bridge and demesne walls. The form and scale of these gates make a notable and positive contribution to the surrounding landscape. These gate piers retain fine wrought-iron gates which add artistic interest to the site. Gates and walls possibly designed by Thomas Cooley.
