Cadw's description
Location
Situated at main entrance to Ffynone, adjoining Ffynone Lodge.
History
Entrance gate piers and gates probably of 1902-7 by F Inigo Thomas for J V Colby, part of the Edwardian remodelling of the house and garden, as similar to piers at house.
Neither lodge nor gates are marked on 1843 Tithe Map.
Exterior
Early C20 pair of heavily rusticated Cilgerran stone gatepiers with cornices and ashlar ball-finials on concave pedestals, shorter outer rusticated piers with plain caps and similar finials. Paired main gates with top-rails ramped down, scrolled spearheads and mid-rail, narrower outer gates with similar ironwork, the top rail ramped down to centre. From outer piers runs a length of rubble wall, ramped down with edge-on cut Cilgerran stone coping.
