On a flint faced stone capped base, a long stretch of iron railings with cast iron spearheads, supported by higher standards with knobs and backstays. Near each end a pair of square gatepiers of knapped flint with white stone quions, plinth offset, and large capping stone carved in the form of a cross-gabled roof with trefoil roll ridge. A square seating on top is occupied by a fluted cast iron lamp standard on the inner of each pair of gateposts. In the middle a rectangular pier of similar design but with a half-octagonal corbelled stone basin on the roadside face with a lion's head spout below over a rusticated projecting dog basin. Remaining pair of gates at W end have similar railings as uprights with an arched brace rising to the centre. 1 gate from E pair lying inside grounds.
