Cadw's description
Location
At the roadside; leading into the upper courtyard of the Halls of Residence.
History
Contemporary with the 1910 Halls of Residence and probably also by H T Hare.
Exterior
The set back main entrance to the Normal College has octagonal ashlar gate piers with ball finials over cornices; spurs to bases and stone setts to driveway with double gates. The attached rubble walls with freestone coping form quadrant shaped wings to either side. They are then ramped down to form boundary walls extending to left as far as the entrance to Athrolys, with similar gate piers without cornices and to right as far as the entrance to Neuadd John Phillips again with similar gate piers.
Reason for designation
Group value with Athrolys and neighbouring Normal College buildings.
