Description

The rockwork garden feature, located approximately 80 to 150 meters southeast of Oakhill, dates from around 1900 and is constructed of Pulhamite. This extensive rockery descends through former pools and rockeries down the slope below Oakhill. Although currently overgrown, the feature was originally about 100 meters long. The most visible section, situated below the midpoint, measures approximately 10 meters wide and 25 meters long, dropping around 6 meters in a series of what were once pools. This feature is an unusually large example of Pulhamite rockwork found in a private garden from that period. A sale catalogue from around 1920 includes an illustration and describes it as a rockery cascade titled 'The Glen'. The 1926/27 revision of the Ordnance Survey map clearly marks the feature and indicates its extent.
