Description
The gateway at the drive entrance to Clovelly Court Estate, also known as Round Towers, dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed stone rubble and features crenellated parapets, although it is now roofless. The design consists of a pair of circular, two-storey towers, each with a single room plan, situated on either side of the drive and connected by an arch over the carriageway, resembling a sham castle.
The exterior showcases two-storey circular towers with battlements and a four-centred arch between them. Each tower's front elevation includes a pointed-arch window with a blind head and reused granite jambs. The gate, added in the late 19th century, is made of wood. Inside, the floors and roof have been removed, but the right-hand tower contains a fireplace with a brick surround. This structure is part of the landscaped park created by Sir James Hamlyn in the late 18th and early 19th centuries around Clovelly Court.
