Description
A WALL, MUCH RUINED, WITH C16 GATE THROUGH, SURROUNDING A FISHPOND & ORCHARD; NOTED ON FIELD VISIT, MAY 1973 (B6).
Grade II. Gate piers. C17-C18. Ashlar. Square plan with round headed niches to N sides, half-pilasters to gate sides. Plinth, moulded top cornice, pyramidal caps and ball finials (B8).
Location of gate piers, section across wall and extent of surviving fragments noted on detailed earthwork survey (B10).
Gate piers were never a serious point of access to the great house. They are too narrow to admit anything other than a light carriage, and there is no evidence for a driveway extending through the field to the south (B11).
