Small, flat-topped buttresses, and plain cast iron railings along the top. Adjoining on the south is a 10-bay stretch of high boundary wall, with return stretches of similar length to north and south. The bay divisions are marked by pilasters of slightly projecting brick. At the extreme east end of the northern return wall, a pier with finial matching those by the drive.
