Gate Piers And Flanking Walls At Approximately 200 Metres North Of Bochym Manor House

The gate-piers and flanking walls, located approximately 200 meters north of Bochym Manor House, were likely built around 1699. They feature dressed serpentine gate-piers and serpentine rubble walls with dressed coping on either side. The tall piers are square in plan, with plinths that project at the front and rear. They have a torus moulded entablature string, a plain ashlar course frieze, an inverted chamfer cornice, and are topped with pyramid copings that have ball finials. The flanking walls are adorned with roll-moulded saddle-back copings, and there is a stile at the far right. This pair of gate-piers is particularly fine and complete, closely spaced and designed to allow the passage of carriages from that era, which highlights their impressive height. Historical information has been provided by the current occupant and is based on a history of the Lyle family by Dr. John Martin Robinson.
