Description
Vaccary Walling is a Grade II listed structure made up of large orthostats and recumbent stones. The wall stretches for just over 100 meters from east to west across a pasture that slopes down from the south. It forms the northern boundary of a trapezoidal field that extends to the Norland Town Road to the south, situated between the Blue Ball Inn and Fallingworth Hall. The wall is located just below a pathway that appears as a slight hollow-way leading east and southeast towards Lower Old Hall, Norland Town House, and Fallingworth Hall, all of which are early to mid-17th century houses.
To the west of the wall, there are earthwork remains of buildings referred to as ‘Fields’ on earlier maps. The wall itself consists of 146 narrow, closely set orthostats, averaging 80 centimeters in height and 25 centimeters in width, along with 27 recumbent stones. Near the eastern end of the wall, there is a break interpreted as a possible entrance, which features a cobbled surface similar to that of the adjacent hollow-way.
