Description
The railings, gateway, and wall attached to the southeast of the Gardener's Cottage date from the mid-19th century and incorporate a 17th-century gateway. The cast iron railings are set on a granite plinth and feature decorative finials on the top rail, a circular pattern along the mid rail, and hooped stanchions. The railings are approximately 30 meters long and include a central recess for a pump and granite trough.
To the east, there is a square stone pier with a pyramidal cap, standing about 4 meters high. Next to this is a 4-centred arched granite gateway, which is hollow-chamfered with recessed spandrels and a hood mould. The gateway is set within a rubble wall and has a 20th-century wrought iron gate. The wall slopes down beyond the gateway, has slatestone coping, is about 2 meters high, and extends approximately another 80 meters, forming part of the boundary of Port Eliot along Old Quay Lane.
