Entrance gates to Moyne Hill, erected c.1850, comprising octagonal-plan carved limestone piers to vehicular gateway, and having moulded plinths, string course and moulded cornices. Ornate double-leaf cast-iron gate and similar railings, latter to top of coursed cut-stone quadrant plinth walls.

Appraisal
These gates and railings add incident to the roadscape, as well as having accomplished iron and stone work. Standing on opposite sides of the road, they present an ornate vista to the traveller.
