Cadw's description

Aligned with the entrance, to the W of the house.

Possibly contemporary with the house, and therefore c1800. Their original position was closer to the house, and they were moved c1980. Outer panelled stone piers with moulded cornices and shallow pyramidal copings; low brick plinth wall to cast iron railings with scrolled inset panels, and paired cast and wrought iron gates, with scrolled overthrow, lock bar and side panels.

Good decorative iron-work, of particular value as part of the context of Glansevern Hall.
