Description
The piers and gates at the north entrance of Witton Castle, along with the wall leading to the bridge, were likely built around 1810. They are made of sandstone blocks with ashlar dressings and feature wrought iron gates. The entrance has two wide round gate piers, approximately 3 meters high, which have a coarse rustication and are topped with bands and raised battlemented coping. Each band has four moulded rectangular blank panels. The flanking piers, which are about one meter high, form the boundary wall and have ogee-domed coping. A low wall with rusticated coping connects the north pier to Witton Bridge. The gates are adorned with spear heads on the straight top rail, linked scrolls, and twisted spike-topped dog bars.
