The National Monuments Service's description

In the NW wall of a boathouse which is on the N side of the lake in Kilcooly Abbey demesne, c. 1km NE of Kilcooly Abbey (TS043-034001-). A pointed medieval doorway, chamfered externally, (H 2.04m; Wth 0.81-0.85m) was poorly inserted in the boathouse which was built in 1789 by Sir William Barker (Neely 2005, 81). It is likely that the stones came from the abbey. The western side of the door head is decorated with two carved ivy leaves which date stylistically to the 15th century.
