Description

The main gates and gatepiers to Plas Brondanw, along with the attached enclosing walls and revettment to the east, feature rubble walls and centrally placed square gatepiers topped with rough slate and stone ball finials. There is a pair of 20th-century panelled gates with a depressed segmental top and raised and fielded panels. The flanking sections of wall are about 1.5 meters high and end to the west in a square rubble pier. To the east, these walls connect to a tall revettment wall that runs northeast at a right angle, following the raised lane behind it. This wall is approximately 4 meters high on the side facing the house and 1.8 meters high on the lane side. Centrally inset on the west side is a modern casting of the Royal Arms, and at the northeast corner near the house is a rubble-faced wall fountain, featuring a basin made from a reused enamelled bath and a stone lion's mask conduit attached to the wall.
