Description
Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of margined rock faced granite ashlar piers on margined rock faced cut-granite chamfered plinths having cut-granite pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron double gates with margined rock faced granite ashlar outer piers on margined rock faced cut-granite chamfered plinths having cut-granite pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Castleboro House.
Appraisal
A gateway not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Castleboro House estate, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
