Appraisal
Though in a derelict state now, the architectural form of this gate lodge is enhanced by the retention of many features such as the cast-iron windows and entrance porch. Located adjacent to the main entrance to Kilcloncorkry House, the gates and lodge were once an impressive and elegant entrance to this once fine country house.
