Description

The arched gate and adjoining balustrade, located 200 meters northeast of the New Lodge, is an architectural folly. It features a curved section of wall made from local rubble, which arcs convexly towards the road to the west. The wall rises in stages to a maximum height of approximately 2.2 meters at the round-headed arch, which includes a simple decorative wrought iron gate topped with a small crown motif. Above the wall's slate capping is a sandstone ball finial.

To the right, the wall steps down in four stages and curves again to connect with the balustrade. The balustrade, made of reused 19th-century sandstone, is about 2.5 meters long and features turned balusters and a moulded rail between square piers, which have lozenge decoration on the main faces. Beneath the balustrade, there is a culvert that carries excess water from the waterfall below the road. In front of the structure, there is a section of cobbled pavement, with a partly-cobbled path leading to the neighboring arch on the left.
