Description
The entrance piers and flanking walls form part of the historic Pantasaph Friary site. The structure dates to the medieval period. The entrance is marked by a pair of square stone piers, featuring dressed stone quoins and decorative capstones. Each pier has a small, gable-shaped top section with mouldings and stylized blind trefoils carved into its faces. Low rubble stone walls extend from the piers. These walls have two tiers of stone tile coping along their tops. The right-hand wall runs eastwards to connect with the southwest angle of St David’s Church, while the left-hand wall runs northwestwards and ends near the southeast angle of the guest-house, marked by a matching pier.
