Description

The screen wall and piers, located about 40 metres south of Antony House, date from the early 18th century. Constructed from banded slatestone rubble, the wall runs in an arc, measuring approximately 100 metres long and about 4 metres high. It serves to screen the approach to the south front of Antony House from the gardens behind. At the northern end, there is a segmental-headed doorway, and in the centre, a gateway flanked by square piers, also about 4 metres high, topped with limestone ball finials on shaped stems. The wall is ramped up to meet the piers. This structure is part of the estate's architectural phase that features banded rubble and contributes to the picturesque approach to the house.
