I like that description of the gate's romantic origins (from the DiscoverIreland link above) -
Dromana Gate is a Hindu Gothic gate dating from around 1830, 5km south of Cappoquin in County Waterford. The only one of its kind in Ireland. The gate was originally built from wood and papier-mâché to greet the owner of the Dromana Estate, Henry Villiers-Stuart and his wife, Theresia Pauline Ott of Vienna, on returning from their honeymoon in 1826. The couple were so enchanted with the gate it was reconstructed in stone in later years.
Ed. The archiseek version is better ! -

So who is Mr Muttonchops? And how does the bridge open - lift, swing, or slide ? Mr French / Lawrence must have liked the gate and bridge - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000339464 - same as this catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000323754 - different season catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334573 - as above catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334574 - Charlie Chaplin ! catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000323755 - no Charlie ! And Mr Poole visited also - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000035728

This'd be one possibility. There's mountains in the distant background, but the depth of field is so different it's hard to say if they're the right ones. www.google.ie/maps/@52.1034094,-7.8664118,3a,52.9y,361.69... OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,609130,594623,10,7

The house on the hill looks like this one: www.waterfordmuseum.ie/exhibit/web/DisplayImage/K0L7HkqaX... Which matches the OSI, but not at all the NIAH: www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... edit: "The house was built in the late 18th century and demolished in the 1960's. The building to the right of the photograph behind the house is still in existence." Which would explain it. Here it is in Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@52.1056581,-7.8690013,3a,64.6y,48.23h...

The Lemur's 'house on the hill', Dromana, is described in this 1929 article via Trove - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107343113 Including - "... there lived and died the celebrated 'old Countess of Desmond'. According to one account, this remarkable woman, at the age of 140, undertook the then difficult journey to London to demand fiom James I. the restoration of her jointure. Another account makes her not quite so old, for it says she — Lived to the age of one hundred and ten, And died from a fall from a cherry-tree then.
