The executed design is closest to Adam volume 51/90, except the arch and connecting walls have been replaced by lamp-topped piers decorated with enclosed rosettes connected to the lodges by an iron fence. The three drawings thus record stages in a trajectory of diminishing ambition, from an entrance as at Moor Park or Syon to one as at Osterley or Mistley. The latter schemes, from 1777 and 1782 respectively, are probably based on this one.

The gate is now known as the stag lodge, having been embellished with a pair of sculptures of stags in 1783. It was moved from the principal entrance in the Merafield direction by the 1st Earl of Morley to stand at the road leading to Plymstock.
