Gate and gate piers. Early to mid-C19. Painted cast iron. Pair of square-section cast iron gate piers with pierced side panels, moulded bases and capitals, and pyramidal caps with globe finials; each pier has a cast relief of a seated dog at the base and relief of a stag's head on each face beneath the capital. Single wrought iron gate with spear-head railings, dograil with spear-head dogbars and lozenge-pattern braces, and semi-circular brace above with lozenge-pattern bracing between. The stag's head is the symbol of the Smythe family, former occupants of Acton Burnell Hall (q.v.), and it is said that the gate and gate piers have been moved to their present location from else- where.
