The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Building was surveyed in the First Survey but not listed. Partial record only was taken during the Second Survey as the building is not worthy of a full survey.
An early nineteenth-century two-bay single-storey galletted rubble stone gate lodge, historically part of Broommount Estate, now divorced from its historical context and contained in the garden of a new build house. The lodge is partially derelict; all openings have been infilled with concrete block, and its interest has been substantialy reduced. Simple squared rubble stone gate piers with galletting remain directly to north.
