Name of Property
Gatepiers at Upper Lodge entrance to Plas Tregayan

Isle of Anglesey
Location
In an isolated rural location within private grounds, set back from the E side a country road leading N off the B5111. The gatepiers flank the main driveway by Upper Lodge, to the W of the house.
History
C19, probably contemporary with the development of the adjacent house and estate buildings; built for Admiral Lloyd, the owner and occupier in the Tithe Apportionment of 1839.
Exterior
Square gate piers of coursed dressed stone, with pyramidal capping and surmounted by a teardrop finial. Flanking the main entrance to the estate by Upper Lodge.
Reason for designation
Included as a pair of C19 gatepiers which forms an important component part of the estate at Plas Tregayan. Built to a coherent design along with the adjacent lodge, and echoing the C19 character of the house for which they were built; a reflection of the expanding fortunes of the estate at that time.
