Cadw's description
Location
Situated to the S of the house in the outer corner formed by the formal garden walls. Reached from a drive running N off the Mold/Gwernaffield by-road.
Exterior
Dated 1735 square section stone pedestal supports a stone urn with acanthus leaf detailing and stone flame motif to the lid. The pedestal has a coat of arms on the south face, and Latin inscriptions on the W and E faces, that on the E face encircled by a carved snake, tail in mouth, includes the date MDCCXXXV and the initials AS and NG, perhaps for Nehemiah Griffiths who built the nearby Alleluia Monument.
Reason for designation
Group value with Rhual and with the formal garden structures.
