Description

The ornamental wall at the southwest end of the Priory, likely built in the 16th century or possibly the mid-17th century, is constructed from coursed and squared rubble and is located next to the house. It features two moulded windows and a shaped pediment above, adorned with scroll-work verge, an obelisk finial, and a bullseye in the tympanum. To the right, there is a skew-plan arched doorway. The wall slopes up to the main garden wall.
