Description
A pair of decorative wrought iron gates and flanking gate piers were erected around 1910 by Mr and Mrs Keighley as part of their significant garden layout at Glan-y-Mawddach. The gate piers are tall, made of dressed rubble with plain capping, topped with classical earthenware urns that feature swag decoration. The gates have reversed, shaped tops with flame-like finials on plain upper railings, each pierced by an oval oculus. The central band of the gates features open foliate decoration, while the lower section has straight spear-headed railings. The left gate pier is connected to a stepped, snecked rubble wall with plain capping, which curves south in an arc and ends after about 20 feet at a natural rock outcrop.
