Description
The railings and gate to Parkfield House are made of cast iron and are set on a low rubble stone retaining wall topped with sandstone coping. The wall curves to the right, leading to a tooled sandstone end pier, and it ends on the left at a rubble wall capped with sandstone on a low pier. The railings feature spearhead designs, with larger column-type standards and elegant square openwork gatepiers at the central gateway, which include cornices, concave pyramid caps, and finials. The gate itself has different spearheads and dog-bars. On the wall to the left, there is a cast-iron cap with an acorn finial, which is similar to those found on the gatepiers of Machen House.
