Gates, piers and railings to Plas Llidiardau

The gates, piers, and railings of Plas Llidiardau are an ornate set featuring iron gates and railings, complemented by stone piers and low walls. The two gatepiers are robustly constructed with single stone chamfered shafts and ashlar cross-gabled caps adorned with star-of-David roundels. The broad double gates showcase intricate cast-iron scrollwork in their lower sections, a lock-rail with punched sheet-metal panels, and spikes positioned above between upper twisted uprights that culminate in upturned crescent-moon finials above the top-rail. The horizontal top rail ramps up to each hanging stile, which, along with the meeting stile, features cast-iron sun finials.

Squared rubble stone walls with chamfered ashlar copings extend from the gatepiers, curving in opposite directions to shorter terminal piers topped with pyramid caps. The left wall has a convex curve to the northeast, while the right wall has a concave curve to the southwest. The railings include a horizontal bottom rail with spikes between the uprights, and the horizontal top rails ramp up to the main gate piers. The uprights are also twisted and topped with upturned crescent-moon finials.

From the southwest pier, a simpler short length of wall extends westward to another pair of piers that support a single very broad wrought iron gate. This gate is constructed from angle-iron horizontals, flat-strip verticals, and round rod dog bars, with the main verticals and dog-bars featuring very crude spear-heads, indicative of rustic blacksmith work, possibly from the early 20th century.
