West Lodge And Screen Walls To Cave Castle

West Lodge and the screen walls to Cave Castle were built around 1870 in the Gothic Revival style. Constructed from yellow brick with stone dressings and concealed roofs, the structure has an irregular plan featuring a carriage gateway flanked by a single square tower with a pedestrian gate on the right and two similar towers on the left, connected by a smaller, taller turret. The screen walls extend to the right and left.

The main gateway has a four-centred arch with false machicolations and a crenellated parapet above a pair of gates adorned with scrolled rails and spiked bars. The right tower has three-light casement windows under hoodmoulds on both the ground and first floors, with a square panel displaying the coat of arms of the Barnard family located between the windows. The left tower is similarly designed but does not feature a coat of arms. The connecting turret is recessed and includes a single-light window under a hoodmould on the first floor, as well as a gun loop above.

All towers are topped with dentilled cornices and crenellated parapets. The right tower contains a four-centred pedestrian passage flanked by attached semi-octagonal turrets, which sit below a crenellated parapet. Above this passage, the tower is recessed and features a panel with a coat of arms beneath a false gun loop, along with a dentilled cornice and crenellated parapet. The crenellated screen walls end in square abutments capped with low pyramidal tops, each side having two false gun loops.
