Appraisal

This gate lodge, known as "Chattan's Lodge", forms part of an interesting group of Loughcrew demesne-related structures, with the Ionic portico, workers' houses, church, stables, graveyard and gate lodges. Though now in poor condition, this gate lodge retains many original features and materials, such as the cast-iron windows and limestone dressings.
