The larger eastern gateway is from the drive into the yard while the smaller western gateway leads to the fields. The gate posts comprise monolithic granite square posts wtih a semi-pyramidal head supporting a ball finial. They probably date to the early-mid 18th century, contemporary with the major refurbishment of the house at that time.
