Cadw's description
Location
Flanking the entrance to the driveway of Carreg Lwyd, SW side of Pentraeth Road, just N of the junction with Hill Street.
History
Built c1912 at entrance to Carreg Lwyd house. Almost certainly designed with the house, and hence by its architect, Joseph Owen of Menai Bridge, the County Architect.
Exterior
Ashlar gate piers; distinctive truncated pyramidal form, with strongly battered sides articulated by 3 shallow recessed panels in upper part, surmounted by boldly projecting cornices with ball finials.
Reason for designation
Listed for their strong architectural design, echoing the styling of the Arts and Crafts house for which they were built and also for group value with Carreg Lwyd.
