What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge to Kilcloncorkry House, built c.1820, with gabled entrance porch. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Paired shoulder-arched cast-iron windows set within segmental-headed window openings to front elevation. Square-headed window opening to rear elevation with timber sash window. Square-headed window opening with timber battened half-door set within segmental-headed door opening. Located adjacent to rendered entrance piers with limestone capstones.
Though in a derelict state now, the architectural form of this gate lodge is enhanced by the retention of many features such as the cast-iron windows and entrance porch. Located adjacent to the main entrance to Kilcloncorkry House, the gates and lodge were once an impressive and elegant entrance to this once fine country house.
