Description
Wrought strap-iron field gate mounted on substantial cylindrical whitewashed uncoursed rubble stone piers with rendered domed coping. On the southern side of the road, opening into a field of open pasture.
Appraisal
A fine vernacular field gate with its original piers and gate, demonstrating skilled masonry and iron working techniques. It is very rare to find historic field gates in such good condition, as most have been at least partially removed to enable access for modern farm machinery.
