What is recorded here

Freestanding gateway, dated 1849, built as entrance to university. Pointed arch vehicular entrance with lower pedestrian to west, set within crennellated squared limestone wall with carved date stone and benchmark to south. Ashlar voussoirs to arches with chamfered edges. Cast-iron gates to both entrances. Forming southern entrance to university campus.
This finely proportioned gateway incorporates high quality stonework and forms a picturesque feature in the streetscape. The fine detailing, ranging from the carved plaque to the cut stone dressings, enhances the architectural design quality of the composition. It is one of a group of gateways built to provide access to the university
