What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having "Cavetto"-detailed shallow pyramidal capping supporting arrow head-detailed wrought iron double gates with granite ashlar outer piers on chamfered plinths having "Cavetto-"detailed shallow pyramidal capping supporting arrow head-detailed wrought iron railings. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Hill Castle.
A gateway forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 15704843) with the resulting ensemble not only surviving as an interesting relic of the Hill Castle estate following the demolition (1960) of the eponymous country house, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate by Edward Westby Nunn (1819-81).

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
