This single stone gatepost can probably be dated to shortly after 1737 when the River Dee was canalised. The farmland only came into existence after the land was drained at that time. The Cop, or river bank, is still sometimes used for grazing cattle. The buildings in the distance are part of Cop House Farm, and much of the land beyond the gateway is in the next square.
