Located to east of Newpass House at start of long entrance avenue. Remains of gate lodge (15400504) to immediate north.

An elegant screen gateway forming an imposing feature at the entrance to the grounds of Newpass House. The construction of the piers is indicative of high quality stone masonry and craftsmanship, while the early-surviving decorative wrought-iron gates enhance the artistic design quality of the composition. These gates, together with the gate lodge to the north (15400504), forms an important element associated with the Newpass House Demesne and are an attractive feature in the landscape to the west of Rathowen.
