Description
The gates, gate piers, and flanking walls located approximately 80 metres south of Conyngham Hall date from the late 18th century or mid 19th century. They feature wrought-iron double gates that stand about 2.5 metres high at the center, tapering down to short railings attached to the piers. The gates are adorned with spear-headed dog-bars, intricate C and S scrolls, and a monogram 'E C C' at the center of each leaf. The gate piers are square in section and approximately 3 metres high, with plinths, three projecting bands on each shaft, a wreathed shield, a cornice, and a ball finial on top. The flanking walls are around 1.2 metres high and curve towards the house, featuring a plinth, shallow gabled coping, C-scrolls against the gate piers, and end piers topped with ball finials. Originally known as Coghill Hall, the house was renamed when Ellen, Countess of Conyngham, purchased it in 1796 and undertook restoration and enlargement. The monogram on the gates likely belongs to her, while the piers may have been added during a significant rebuilding phase in 1856.
