Place & story
A surviving estate entrance
Ballyanne House was demolished in 1943, according to the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. Its estate gateway, already present by 1840, preserves a separate part of the property’s built history. The inventory’s 2007 survey records granite piers with a rusticated finish, moulded courses and pyramidal caps. Outer piers carry pedestrian gates, while wrought-iron railings complete the symmetrical arrangement. The entrance is evidence of the former estate layout; the survey does not establish an exact construction year for it. [2]
