Description
The archway and screen wall adjoining the stable block to the northwest of Southill Park is a structure that is thought to date from the mid-18th century, during the time the Byng family owned Southill Park. The walls are likely from the 19th century and are constructed of brown cobblestones with brick dressings and stone coping. The archway is made of coursed ironstone. The walls and archway stand approximately 2 and 4 meters high, respectively, creating an irregularly shaped courtyard that connects the stable block to the house. The pointed-arched opening is flanked by three-stage buttresses and topped with an embattled design, featuring a panel carved with a rose above the apex of the arch.
