Description
The ha-ha at Boughton Mount, likely built in the early 19th century, is shown on the Tithe Map for Boughton Monchelsea and was constructed by the Braddick family. A bridge was added between 1897 and 1908 at the western end.
The ha-ha is made of squared Kentish ragstone blocks sourced from local quarries, with green sandstone balustrades on the bridge. The wall of the ha-ha is elliptical in shape and is located to the southeast of the main house, serving as a boundary to the upper lawn. The wall rises to about ten feet (3 meters) on the south side, has a battered base, and features stone steps on the sides that lead down to the ditch. Although there was once a stone balustrade, it is no longer visible. At the western end, there is a flat-arched bridge that spans the ditch, complete with stone balusters, carved stone coping, carved stone end piers, and central stone supporting piers.
