(16/08/1990) Slotted gate-posts on West Coombe Farm. Four posts (1-4 in the accompanying tabulation), three in situ and one re-used in a building, are present. More would usually be expected but the farm was subject to extensive refurbishment in the later 19th century. All the posts have rectangular slots. For a full description of gateway types see Worth (1953, 361-367).
A further table of information on the gate posts is held in the archive.
