The gates are at the entrance to the Broncastell driveway, leading off the A44 road. Broncastell is a house in late Georgian style, but probably built as late as the 1860s. It is Grade II listed. It is not visible from the public road. The entrance gates are also Grade II listed and are described thus: "Entrance gates and piers to Broncastell, villa of the 1860s. Similar ironwork on churchyard gates and elsewhere suggest that it was made in Aberystwyth. "Entrance gatepiers of tooled grey stone with cross-gabled caps of tooled sandstone flanked by curved low walls of similar grey stone with sandstone coping carrying iron railings with cast-iron decorative finials. Matching outer piers."
