Anyone seen one of these before? It's a gate in a C19 deerpark fence and
appears to be a sort of turnstile/kissing gate for horses. It's hard to
photograph but it's a circular fence with a rotating quadrant within and
two entrances/exits adjacent to the fenceline. If it were set correctly
you could probably ride a horse in and push the segment round until you
could exit. If the segment were in the wrong place, you couldn't and
might as well use the 'normal' gate adjacent. Any ideas, any thesaurus
terms, anyone still there?
Merry Christmas.
