A toll gate probably of the 1820s, to a standard design used by Thomas Telford on his Chester-Holyhead Road. Later removed to the farmyard and set between existing gate piers.

Exterior

A wrought-iron gate between monolithic stone piers with pyramid caps. The black-painted gate has sunburst bars radiating from the inner corners in characteristic Telford style. A bolt is later.
