Garden walls, part of a walled garden. Possibly partly C15/early C16. Limestone rubble, partly coursed, with some ashlar dressings and a plain-tile coping. Wall is now approximately 2.5 metres high but may have been higher, and it extends around the south, west, north and part of the east sides of a rectangular enclosure approximately 80 metres by 45 metres, formerly the walled garden of The Old Priory and now incorporating the gardens of Bassett Lodge and The Mill. The south wall includes a blacked doorway. The wall is continuous with the front wall The Mill (not included) and the rear wall of the stables (q.v.), and the enclosure is completed by The Old Priory with its flanking walls (q.v.) which may have been the hospice of Bicester Priory.
