Description
The gate piers, gates, and retaining walls at the entrance to Plâs Dinam were built around 1875, likely designed by W.E. Nesfield. They serve as the main entrance to the estate. The gate is positioned at right angles to the road, allowing the driveway to ascend the bank towards the mansion house. The piers are constructed from limestone ashlar, featuring channel rustication and margin dressing, with hollow moulded corners and moulded gabled capitals. The gate itself is made of timber, consisting of square panels that incorporate iron and timber tracery, along with a band of turned balusters in the center. One retaining wall curves from the right pier towards the main road, extending 20 meters to another terminal pier. A second wall runs parallel to the road from the left gate pier before curving back to another terminal pier.
