Appraisal
This gate lodge, known as "Berry'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. This gate lodge retains many original features and materials, such as the timber sash windows, ashlar limestone dressings and slate roofs.
