Arched Gate and adjoining Balustrade 200m NE of the New Lodge

Architectural ''folly'' composition consisting of a curved section of wall with arched gateway and gate, and an adjoining balustraded parapet. The wall is of local rubble and curves in a convex arc towards the road to the W. It rises in stages to a maximum height of roughly 2.2m at the arch; this is round-headed and has a simple decorative wrought iron gate with small crown-motif overthrow. Above this, surmounting the wall''s slate capping, is a sandstone ball finial. The wall steps down in 4 stages to the R where it curves again to join the balustrade. This is of sandstone and is reused C19 material; it is some 2.5m long and has turned balusters and a moulded rail between square piers with lozenge decoration to the main faces. The balustrade has a culvert passing beneath it, carrying the excess from the waterfall beneath the road. In front, a section of cobbled pavement with, to the L a partly-cobbled path leading to the neighbouring arch.
