An introduction to the Vernacular Forged Wrought Iron Field Gates of Co. Kilkenny.

This short film illustrates the beauty and heritage value of our vernacular field gates, crafted by blacksmiths in times past, and now under threat of being forgotten. The film, produced by Shem Caulfield, is part of the Kilkenny Vernacular Forged Wrought Iron Field Gate Project, co-ordinated and funded by the Heritage Office of Kilkenny County Council, in partnership with the Heritage Council. This project is an action of the Kilkenny Heritage Plan.
