The National Monuments Service's description

On the road to Leamaneh, where the deerpark wall extends from the road to the NNE. Named ‘Pillars’ on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. Named ‘Gate Piers’ on the 1916 ed and on the 1897 OS 25-inch map which also depicts an avenue extending to the NNE. Listed as ‘Gate pier’ in the RMP (1996). Described by Westropp (1900, 406-7) along with ‘Gate piers’ (CL016-050----) c. 550m to the SE as ‘the long walled avenue, with the piers of two other gateways’ ‘seen as we drive towards Corofin’.
On inspection in 1998 double-faced walls (H c. 1m) were noted on both sides of the road but no gate piers were visible at this location.
