Description

The east wall of the grounds of The Towers is an 18th-century structure made of carstone, standing 6 to 8 feet high. It features round bastion piers, all topped with rounded copes, located south of the central road. To the north of the central road, there is a plain section of the wall with a single round bastion pier, also with a rounded top. The wall adds amenity value against the green surroundings.
