Detached single-bay single-storey former gate lodge and main entrance gates serving Kilcleagh Park/Castledaly Manor , erected c.1790. Now out of use with lodge in a derelict condition.
A good quality gate lodge and associated entrance gates, which originally made a suitably fine first impression when entering the grounds of Kilcleagh Park to the north. The appealing if rather dilapidated gate lodge is well-composed and retains a great deal of its early fabric including an interesting portico/porch with robust Doric columns and decorative timber barge boards to the eaves. The elegant gateway displays high quality craftsmanship using fine ashlar limestone with the simple wrought-iron gates and rubble stone boundary wall adding to the aesthetics of this good quality composition. This prominent pair of features forms part of an interesting group of related structures associated with Kilcleagh House and continues to make a strong visual statement in the landscape to the southwest of Moate.
