Cadw's description
Location
Situated in roadside garden wall of Pontgarreg Cottage.
History
Pedestrian gateway to garden of Pontgarreg Cottage, presumably earlier to mid C19.
Exterior
Red brick garden gateway with flat top and crude rounded-pointed arched opening. Cement coping. Wrought iron gate with elliptical-curved top rail and double mid-rail. Spiked uprights with good scrollwork between: scrolls between bars to lower section, then diagonal crosses between mid rails and small scrolls above. Upper section has just vertical bars terminated above top-bar in plain spike finials.
Reason for designation
Included as an unusual and decorative C19 pedestrian gate and for group value with Pontgarreg Cottage and barn.
