Description
These are forecourt walls and gate piers dating to the late 18th century, located on the south side of Grafton Square. The gate piers are stuccoed and topped with low, pyramidal caps. Low stuccoed forecourt walls run between the piers and originally supported railings, although the present railings are modern replacements. The structures are listed for their contribution to the group value of the square.
