Appraisal
Set at the north-east entrance to the ecclesiastic demesne of Kilmore Cathedral and See House, this picturesque gate lodge is attributed to William Farrell (d.1851), as is the bishop's palace, See House. It forms part of a significant group of related structures with another gate lodge, the old cathedral, nineteenth century cathedral, and main house.
