Description
The gate piers to the service court at Merthyr Mawr House are made of ashlar stone and feature two-tier pyramidal caps.

This wall includes narrow fixed windows that provide light to a covered passage at the back of the service wing. The wall extends south on the west side of the service wing, made of coursed masonry, and includes two additional windows before ending in a square pier. On the left side of the gate piers, the wall has a single shallow buttress and continues as the rear wall of a vehicle shed and workshop.
