Appraisal
An elegant and unassuming set of entrance gates associated with Lough Park House (15400716). It is well constructed with finely carved ashlar limestone gate posts and is enhanced by the simple cast-iron gates and railings. This entrance gate is an appealing feature of some visual appeal in the landscape to the east of Castlepollard.
