based on a design by Robert Adam. Red brick with stucco
surviving to the screen wall left of the arch, and some stone
dressings. Wide arch with flanking screen walls plus a small
lodge built behind the left-hand screen wall and a lean-to
behind the other screen wall.
Tall round arch with projecting keystone flanked by paired
pilasters and the whole surmounted by a Doric entablature and
a parapet with moulded cornice and a central niche. The arch
is flanked by lower screen walls with end pilasters and with
pilastered window openings with entablature (now blocked).
Lodge is now roofless and has blocked window openings; brick
stack to the gable end.
