This gateway constitutes the west entrance to Carrigglas Manor (13401414), and forms an integral element of an important group of structures associated with the main house. The gate piers are well-executed in good quality ashlar limestone and are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The gates are a reminder of the skill of local stone masons available in Ireland at the time of their construction. They provide important context to the locality and form an attractive roadside feature. It forms a related pair of structures with the adjacent gate lodge (13401416) to the southeast, and adds artistic interest to the roadscape to the northeast of Longford Town. This possibly replaced an earlier gateway at the same location.
