depressed archway between. In a free Gothic revival style.
Each turret with plinth, corbelled eaves consisting of Gothic arches springing from
projecting round stones, chamfered cornice and domed stone cap with carved stone
bird finial. Each turret has tall blind lancet on outer front face, with cill and
hoodmould with projecting stones as stops; right-hand pier with open lancet to rear
too. Stone-arched doorways on inner face, the left-hand one blind. Depressed
archway between turrets with stone voussoirs and brick hoodmould with projecting

The gateway stands alongside the long steep drive to Glenthorne (q.v) and marks the
beginning of a cliff-top pathway to the west.
