There is an inscribed recessed panel at either side of the gateway both front and rear with letters in bold relief. At the front (west): the letters HU (left) and 1756 (right). At the rear (east): the letters SM (left) and RS (right). The gate has curved brace to closer spaced bars below lock rail; roundels to lock rail and ramped top rail. Iron hanging and closing stiles with finials are attached to the granite ashlar piers which form the outer ends of the settles.
