Description
There are two pairs of gate piers located 125 metres to the northwest of Skisdon, dating from around the 18th century. The inner pair consists of slender granite monolith gate piers that are square in plan and topped with ball finials. These inner piers are adjacent to an outer pair made of ashlar stone, also square in plan, featuring moulding caps. It is possible that the inner gate piers have been reset.
