Description

The entrance gates and wall forming the east boundary of the entrance garden at St Fagans Castle are a fine pair of wrought iron gates, accompanied by a single wrought iron gate set in a semi-elliptical headed arch immediately to the south. On either side of the gates, there are stone walls topped with an embattled parapet. The wall on the north side connects seamlessly with the east wall of the rose garden, while the wall on the south side extends to the segmental arch that leads into the stable yard.
