Remains of a formerly two-storied gatehouse situated at the NE angle of the modern enclosure. It consists of a square building (c. 4.9m x 5m internally) with round granite arches and antae in the north and south walls. Some of the paving of the causeway through the gatehouse is still intact and the ground slopes markedly upwards towards the interior of the enclosure. Each archway, however, is 3m in height from the ground to the soffit. A second floor is indicated by the presence of corbels in the interior. A possible section of the enclosure wall adjoins the NE corner. There is a slab of mica schist (dims. 2.3m x 1.5m) on the W wall with an incised Latin cross. (Leask 1950, 30-32; Barrow 1992, 28-30) See linked document with plan taken from Robert Cochrane Historical and Descriptive Notes with Ground Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Ecclesiastical Remains at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. SMR No.: WI023-008001-
