Appraisal
An imposing and ornate entrance forming the entrance to Crookstown House. It is particularly well-designed and is an indicator of the scale and grandeur of the Crookstown estate in the past. The craftsmanship involved in the construction of this entrance is of the highest quality. It is an eye-catching roadside feature.
