This pair of fine stone gateposts must have had a massive pair of gates hung from them years ago, possibly wooden gates then. The post to the right lying on the bank has the holes in it for the hinges, but it has been removed from its gate position for some reason, possibly to widen the drive for the new generation of farm equipment and tractors, which are huge now compared with twenty years ago.
