stone archway

Masonry entrance frame

A stone archway is an arched passage or opening constructed from stone, typically serving as an entrance to a garden, courtyard, or building.

The term emphasizes both material and form—the curved structure that allows passage beneath while supporting weight above.

Stone archways appear frequently in historic architecture and remain popular as decorative garden features: We exchanged vows beneath the old stone archway.
