What is recorded here

Entrance gateway to former Ryehill House, erected c.1830, comprising two pairs of carved limestone square-plan piers with tapered panels, moulded plinths and string courses and moulded caps with squat pyramidal tops, supporting decorative cast-iron vehicular gates and having flanking plinth walls with centrally placed pedestrian gates supported to rear by ornate cast-iron brackets, and cast-iron railings and gates. Walls to road flare in convexly towards gates and are of snecked ashlar limestone with plinths and flat copings. Set back from road opposite gate lodge.
Together with the gate lodge, these entrance gates announced the entrance to Ryehill House which was built in the early nineteenth century but since demolished. The gateway is an attractive feature and the stone piers and decorative cast-iron railings have an architectural and artistic quality which is a notable feature along the roadside.
