By Thomas H Mawson as part of a continued garden scheme for Lord Leverhulme at The Hill (now Inverforth House). This part of the garden is now in separate ownership to the house; for the house garden features see Inverforth House, North End Way entries. Paired and single Doric columns of Portland stone carrying a timber pergola superstructure imitating a Doric entablature. Solid brick screen wall on north side. Tiled pavement; approached by balustraded steps at north-west end from northern garden and with steps on the south side.
