Entrance gates serving Togherstown House (15402403), erected c.1820, comprising two pairs of cut limestone gate posts, octagonal in plan, linked by a curved limestone plinth wall surmounted by cast-iron railings. Main entrance flanked to the east by a section of rubble ashlar limestone boundary walling having two pedestrian entrances, comprising separate pairs of cut limestone gate posts supporting cast-iron gates. To the south of the main entrance (across the main Mullingar to Ballymahon road) is a pair of cut limestone gate posts supporting wrought-iron double gates, previously associated with Togherstown House and now giving access to field. Main gates located to the southwest of Togherstown House and to the west of Loughanavally.
A fine series of entrance gates and boundary wall associated with Togherstown House (15402403). The cut limestone gate posts and the highly decorative cast-iron gates and railings demonstrate good quality craftsmanship. These gates are an attractive feature in the rural landscape to the west of Loughanavally, adding incident to the mina Mullingar to Ballymahon road.
