Archway and wing walls removed from site of St Mary's Nunnery (demolished). Perhaps C13, altered. Coursed red sandstone, eroded. The re-erected stonework comprises a pointed archway of 5 courses visible below capitals to former shafts. On the outer side jambs and voussoirs are twice rebated; there are 3 rings of voussoirs, of which the second ring has eroded mouldings; on the inner side there are no rebates. A pointed-arched niche in each face of wing wall to each side of archway, simply detailed. After demolition, the archway and wing walls were twice moved and re-erected, and may have been altered or rearranged.
