Description
This is a pair of gate piers located about 375 metres southeast of Kingweston House, likely built in the 19th century and restored in 1959. The piers are made of Doulting stone and feature plain ashlar construction, measuring approximately 500 millimetres square and 2 metres high. They have a slight moulded plinth and moulded flat tops with steps, as well as tall necked bases for ball finials. The piers are positioned about 3 metres apart, with short lengths of flanking walls made of rubble and topped with swept plain thin ashlar copings. These gate piers are part of the setting for Kingweston House.
