This is a 17th-century red brick wall that runs south-south-east from the southern tip of Penshurst Place and then returns eastward.

The wall ultimately links with the screen wall to the north of the Gatehouse. This structure is part of a group that includes Penshurst Place, the South Central Tower and Wall, the Southern Wall, the Inner Garden Wall, and the Garden Wall.
