Appraisal
The modest size and scale of this former gate lodge make it a notable feature of the roadside and surrounding landscape. Its form is typical of gate lodges of its time in Ireland with its over hanging eaves anchoring the lodge in its setting. Its appearance is further enhanced by the retention of timber windows that are respectful to historic models.
