Pair Of Gate Piers And Gate About 125 Metres South East Of Trewardreva House

This is a pair of gate piers and a gate located about 125 metres southeast of Trewardreva House. They date from around 1719, with the late 19th-century gate possibly re-erected here around 1860 when the drive was formed. The gate piers are tall and made of granite ashlar, square in shape, featuring moulded plinths and cyma moulded cornices topped with ball finials. The wooden gate from the late 19th century has diagonal bracing, seven bars, and stiles with finials. The drystone granite rubble walls on either side are from the 20th century or possibly late 19th century. Originally, the drive to Trewardreva House was located south of the house and was moved here in 1860. According to historian Charles Henderson, this entrance is the only remaining one of the three original entrances, with the gate piers from one of the other entrances located at Bosvathick House.
