Description

The gate piers and linking walls at the main entrance to Castle Hill House were built in the late 18th century and are made of ashlar sandstone. They consist of a pair of main piers that are connected to outer piers by short, curved sections of wall. The main piers feature moulded plinths supporting rusticated, square-sectioned shafts topped with shallow cornices. They also have upswept pedestals that hold ball finials. The linking walls are constructed from dressed stone with ashlar copings and end at simpler piers that have cornices and pyramidal caps.
