Description
This is a wall with an entrance arch and a mounting block, located opposite Nos. 19 to 22A. The structure is likely from the medieval period and the 18th century.

The arch in the wall is two-centred, slightly chamfered, and includes a keystone. The mounting block, which has three steps, is positioned alongside the wall to the left of the second buttress.
