Description

This is a garden wall, probably built in the late 18th century. It is made of roughly-dressed sandstone and features flat coping. The northern section of the wall extends east for about 25 metres and connects to the eastern section, which runs south for approximately 40 metres. The northern section has a doorway on the left and includes a quadrant ramp that lowers the wall height from about 5 metres to 4 metres. The eastern section also has a quadrant ramp on the left, reducing the height from about 4 metres to 3 metres. After further lowering to approximately 1.5 metres, the wall continues south to connect with a range of farm buildings that are not of special interest. This wall is included for its group value with the adjacent structures.
