Description
Circa 1690 with alterations and additions, pair of sandstone ashlar gatepiers with classical detailing to the northeast of Caroline Park House. The gatepiers are square plan with alternating pulvinated bands between bands with fielded panels, as well as a moulded base and cornice. Adjoining the inner side of each pier is a lower coped wall with pedestrian entrances, probably added in the mid-18th century. These gatepiers have been altered by the loss of the iron gates and the decoratively scrolled finials. The vehicular entrance between the walls has been bricked up. Adjoining the outer face of each pier are lower coped rubble walls, probably 19th century.
