Cadw's description
Location
To the NW of the farm, fronting the road almost opposite the entrance to Marl Hall.
History
A toll gate probably of the 1820s, to a standard design used by Thomas Telford on his Chester-Holyhead Road. Later removed to the farmyard and set between existing gate piers.
Exterior
A wrought-iron gate between monolithic stone piers with pyramid caps. The black-painted gate has sunburst bars radiating from the inner corners in characteristic Telford style. A bolt is later.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a rare surviving early C19 toll gate of the type favoured by Thomas Telford.
