Description

Site visit 16/07/2000:
Two stoop gate, located in wall 530, N of Bransdale Mill. Lies across a section of the major N-S route from Cockayne to the mill (NTSMR 32639), now a footpath. The opening is 2.40m wide with a wooden 5-bar gate. The E stoop is a rectangular block with a square top, 1.40m high, 0.26m wide and 0.50m thick with two existing pintels replaced with new ones. The W stoop is also a rectangular block with a slightly pyramdial top, 1.40m high, 0.25 wide and 0.50m thick with one partly broken socket 0.02m square and 0.09m deep towards the top. Like other gate posts on the route, these were designed to impress and have the appearance of manufactured stoops [1].
