Located at the SE angle of the walled garden (WA021-019018-) attached to the S of Lismore Castle (WA021-019001-). It forms an outer gateway to the castle and was built in 1631-2, after the walled garden. This is an elaborate arched gateway which passes between two rectangular three storey towers that are connected at the first floor by a passage. (Bradley et al. 1989, 80-1)
