Description
The gates and screen wall at the entrance to Cowpen Cemetery were built around 1875. The wall is made of tooled stone with ashlar dressings, while the gates and rails are crafted from wrought iron. The double gates feature cross fleury tops on the rails and dograil, an arched upper rail, and a monogram of the letter C with a cross fleury. The ornamental openwork box piers support an arched overthrow adorned with a scroll pattern and a finial cross. Low quadrant walls with moulded coping and similar rails connect to outer ashlar piers that have moulded bases and capitals, topped with gabled finials. There are flanking sections of similar wall and rails that include small gates.
