Gate pillars, Hilltown Road, Aghacullion, near Bryansford, Newcastle, Co Down

Pair of harled gothick gate pillars set in a low wall to the N of Tollymore Park, one of a series of follies constructed by the 2nd Lord Limerick c.1780. The pillars are part of the wall of a field to the N side of the Hilltown Road, W of Bryansford village, with the gateway itself located roughly a mile W of the village. The pillars are cylindrical and each has a crown-like cornice with rounded bap stones, topped with a tall conical granite spire. To the S of each pillar is an arrow loop-like slit. The top half of the spire to the E pillar has broken off. Both pillars are harled. Low rubble wall each side of gateway. Between the pillars is a mid 20th century looking iron gate.
