Description

The ha-ha to the east front of Heath Hall is a mid-18th century feature. It consists of a well-coursed hammer-dressed stone retaining wall with ashlar rectangular squared coping. The wall has a serpentine shape. The northern half of the wall is partially collapsed, but some coping stones remain nearby. This structure is not shown on William Dickinson's estate map from 1745, suggesting it was likely added during the alterations to Heath Hall by John Carr after 1753.
