Appraisal
This gate lodge, known as "Mahon's Lodge", forms part of an interesting group of Loughcrew demesne-related structures, with the Ionic portico, workers' houses, church, stables, graveyard and gate lodges. The stone dressings create a picturesque and rustic building, which is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials.
