The structure features six evenly spaced square piers made of yellow brick, each topped with projecting square limestone caps. Between the piers is a stone-capped dwarf wall, which has a pair of double gates for entry. The dwarf wall is adorned with simple arrowhead railings, while the upper part of the gate displays more ornate detailing.
