Ashlar. Large rectangular piers c4m in height set back from the road and flanked by quadrant walls c2m in height which curve out towards the road. The whole entrance is c30m in width. The lower two-thirds of each pier is constructed from flat-chamfered rusticated ashlar blocks, divided from the upper third by a band. The upper part is decorated with single swags on the north and south sides and foliate bosses within moulded oval margins on the other two sides. Triangular pediments. Flat coping to the flanking walls which terminate at small piers (obscured by foliage at the time of resurvey - June 1986). The wall is ramped downwards to the right and left of each of these piers.
