A pair of imposing stone gateposts topped with granite ball finials at the entrance to the drive to 'Weardown' on the northern side of the road from Avonwick to Totnes about 100 metres east of New Bridge.
The square columns are of dressed slate 2 metres high and 0.75 metres wide and deep, with a base plinth about 10 centimetres wider on the outer and roadside faces. About 0.5 metres from ground level. There is no gate rebate. At the top of each is a capping of slate projecting about 5 centimetres, then a 4-sided dressed granite pyramid with granite ball finial, perhaps slightly larger in proportion to the rest of the gatepost.
