Wrought-iron double gates to central vehicular entrance with single wrought-iron gates to flanking pedestrian entrances. Sections of rubble limestone estate wall to the east and west.

An attractive, if plainly detailed, set of entrance gates serving Levington Park (15401910). This gateway is of early nineteenth-century appearance and probably dates to the c.1810 remodelling of Levington Park. The gate piers are well-built in good quality dressed limestone while the associated gates are a good example of early wrought-iron work. The robustly constructed estate wall, running away to the east and west, makes a pleasing visual statement in the local landscape to the northwest of Mullingar. This gateway and estate wall forms part of an important group of demesne-related structures associated with Levington Park House.
