Entrance gates and screen, erected c.1860, with adjacent gate lodge at junction of Knockmaroon Road and Knockmaroon Hill as front entrance to house, now part of Saint Michael's School. Pair of decorative scrolled wrought-iron gates (possibly early twentieth-century replacements) hung on large granite ashlar piers with banded blocks, pulvinated frieze and moulded capstones surmounted by over-sized ball finials. Decorative wrought-iron railings flank entrance, laid out on S-curve and set on granite ashlar plinth wall with bull-nose coping and terminated to either end with rectangular-plan granite ashlar piers. Rubble stone walls enclose site to either side with stacked coping broken by pedestrian opening to north having wrought-iron gate with details matching that of railings. Knockmaroon gate lodge and gateway located short distance to north.
