Description

The wall and postern gate to the east of Davington Priory is a 19th-century structure designed in a Norman style. It is accessed by steps from Davington Hill. The high medieval wall, made of stone and flint rubble, extends to the north and northwest, reaching a pair of stone gate piers that are adjacent to the churchyard wall. The buttresses are constructed of stone rubble and are partly restored in brick. The wall continues south of the postern gate as far as No. 8 Davington Hill. Davington Priory, the walls and postern gate, and the Church of St Mary Magdalene form a group with Raven's Court Wall, which encloses Raven's Court and Raven's Court Cottage on Brent Hill.
