Description

The gateway and lodges, located approximately 100 meters east of Swinton Castle, were built around 1754. They are constructed from ashlar stone and feature stone slate roofs, with wrought-iron gates. The structure includes a carriage gateway and pedestrian gates, flanked by walls and a lodge on each side.

The gateway is characterized by four vermiculated rusticated pilasters. The central arched carriage entrance has a moulded architrave and a double keystone adorned with a carved head. On either side of the entrance are rectangular gateways with projecting panels above. The central bay features a cornice with an open pediment, a five-bay carved head keystone, and finials. The gates themselves have midrails and central semicircular panels with radial bars, and the structure is completed with coped curtain walls.

The lodges are two stories high, each with two first-floor windows. They have quoins and a central ground-floor sash window with glazing bars, along with a keyed architrave on the first floor. The first floor also features two six-pane sashes with keyed architraves, moulded stone cornices, a parapet, and a pyramidal roof with a central stack.
