What is recorded here

S-profile roughly dressed stone entrance sweep, erected c.1880, having square-profile coursed piers with stepped caps surmounted by render lion statues. Cast-iron double-leaf gates with decorative scroll work and fleur-de-lis motif. Gate piers flanked by roughly coursed walls, concave to north-east and convex to south-west, with stepped copings. Set back from road enclosing gravelled driveway leading to Lisselan House.
This fine entrance sweep with its unusual S-profile plan is a notable roadside addition. The use of alternating concave and convex quadrant walls creates an engaging visual movement. The high quality stonework of its well-executed piers and walls compliments the excellent cast-iron gates. It forms part of a fascinating group of demesne related structures which includes the main house, gate lodge, farm manager's house, glass house, walled garden and outbuildings.
