South Lodge To Witton Castle With Walls And Piers Attached And C.3 Metres To South-East

The South Lodge to Witton Castle, likely built in the early 19th century, features walls and piers in front. Constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, the roof is not visible. The walls and piers are made of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar coping, designed in a castellated style.

The structure includes a high one-bay gatehouse with a two-storey, two-bay lodge attached to the left. The entrance arch has low, 2-centred heads resembling a portcullis, topped with a machicolated parapet and flanked by arrow slits. The lodge features chamfered surrounds to paired ground-floor lancets, with smaller paired low 2-centred headed lights in the right bay, while the left bay is blank. The parapet has chamfered coping and is battlemented above the arch, with a turret at the rear right angle.

There is a 20th-century addition on the front left that is not of interest. A high wall attached to the left has flat coping, and a square pier at the left end has stepped coping and is rusticated. A similar pier located about 2 metres southeast of the lodge arch serves as the left pier of the side entrance to the estate, while the right pier is battlemented.
