Description
Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1860, with canted bay window to east end of north elevation. Now in use as a private dwelling. Hipped natural slate roof with overhanging eaves and central rendered chimneystack. Constructed of snecked cut limestone with square-headed window openings with timber casement windows. Square-headed timber panelled door to centre. Set back from roads adjacent to former back gates serving Knockdrin Castle (15401222). Gates (15401220) and former estate wall adjacent to west.
Appraisal
Though modest in design and small in stature, this lodge is enhanced by the quality of the limestone masonry exhibited in its construction. This lodge originally served the rear entrance to Knockdrin Castle (15401222) and forms part of an important group of related structures within this important former demesne.
