Cadw's description
Location
On the west side of Pen-y-pound and one of the varied group of historic buildings on the main north-eastern access to Abergavenny.
History
Possibly late C18 and unaltered since.
Exterior
Stone walling with wrought iron railings. Dwarf stone wall supports thick spike railings with heavier main posts. Double gates with fancy dog-bars. The railings return to meet the corners of the house.
Reason for designation
Included for their special interest as good iron railings and as an unusually early survival of domestic ironwork for the area.
