The gate, originally two storeys high, consists of two granite arches and is unique in Ireland. In the west arch, ie within the complex, a stone with a relief cross is attached. Expression of a welcome culture, if you had made it so far.

You have to go through this gate if you want to get from the parking lot to the cemetery.
