The entrance gateway and walls to the north of Muncaster Castle date from the late 18th century to early 19th century. The gateway is constructed of ashlar stone and features a parapet, with rough-dressed quoins and surrounds. The walls are made of random rubble with splayed sections and chamfered copings. The gateway has a taller central section that displays a coat-of-arms and Pennington badges above a semicircular-headed carriage arch. It is adorned with wrought-iron gates that feature scrollwork panels. Square piers with caps are located at the inner ends of the walls.
