An ornate gate lodge which forms an integral part of the old Knockeevan House demesne. Its simple form is enhanced and embellished by the decorative overhanging eaves course, oculi and blind windows. The gates are notable for their ornate piers which together with the gate lodge present an interesting, ornate façade to the roadway. Although now disused, the gate lodge makes a valuable contribution to the history of the locality.
