Gateposts, Musbury House

The listed building description for "Front Garden Area Railings and Piers south of Musbury House" describes the gate piers as "Brick end piers with stone quoins and caps with acorn finials" http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1169488&searchtype=mapsearch - that sounds like these, on the lane between Boshill Cross and Lower Bruckland. But the map reference - and the garden area railings - are some 230 metres away close to the house itself. Are there another pair of gate piers there? Anyway, these look fairly authentic. On the right is the start of Axmouth Footpath 16, discussed in Image the wooded hill in the background is Musbury Castle.
