The boundary wall is constructed of flint rubble with a stone coping. The piers are of flint rubble with stone quoins and stone coping. Cast iron railings run along the top of the wall between the piers. These railings consist of two square bars with a twist in the middle, and stanchions that terminate in a Maltese Cross.
