Description
This is a pair of gate-piers and flanking walls located at the southwest entrance to Hengar, dating from around the 17th century but rebuilt in the late 19th century. The structure is made of stone rubble and granite ashlar. The gate-piers are square in plan and constructed from stone rubble and granite ashlar, featuring granite ashlar pyramidal caps and ball finials. The flanking quadrant walls are made of stone rubble with granite coping, which ends in larger granite ashlar piers that also have pyramidal caps. Additionally, granite monolithic piers, likely from the late 19th or 20th century, have been inserted on the inner side of the gate-piers.
