Description

The gate piers and flanking walls at the road entrance to the White Cottage, which was formerly a vicarage, are probably from the early 19th century. They are constructed from granite ashlar and feature rusticated granite piers. The left-hand (west) end has a dressed granite wall with granite coping, while the other end consists of a granite rubble wall. The wide gateway is flanked by square-on-plan piers that are connected by short straight sections of wall to concave quadrant-on-plan walls, which also have square-on-plan terminal piers. To the right, there is a narrower blocked gateway with an additional pier on its right. The piers are topped with ramped pyramidal caps, and the lower walls feature sloping copings.
