Description
The gate piers located to the north-east of the farm outbuilding at Barlow Woodseats Hall date from the late 16th century and are part of a boundary wall that defines the entrance to the north-west end of the farmyard. This area is bordered to the south-west by the farm outbuilding range and to the north-east by Barlow Woodseats Hall and its gardens.
The gate piers are constructed from ashlar sandstone blocks and feature moulded stonework. They are connected to nearby structures by coursed rubble sandstone walling. The piers are rectangular in shape, with each inner face featuring a projecting vertical moulding that would have served as a stop for doors that have since been removed. Each pier is topped with a blocking course and a projecting moulded cornice that supports a ball finial on a tapered stem. The rectangular blocks also function as quoins, with recesses between them housing the ends of the masonry courses of the attached walling.
The south-west pier is connected to the adjacent building by a short section of wall, while the north-east pier stands at the end of an approximately nine-metre section of wall that extends eastward to Barlow Woodseats Hall. This wall meets the pier just below the cornice and then ramps downwards to a quoined set-back, continuing at a lower height until it reaches the hall. The wall features a stepped ridge coping and includes a quoined door opening that provides access to the hall gardens.
