South Terrace With Grotto Niche To South Of Prideaux Place

The south terrace with a grotto niche, located to the south of Prideaux Place, was likely designed by Edmund Prideaux around 1740 when he added a garden seat at the southern end of the terrace. The terrace was probably rebuilt in the early 19th century, featuring a crenellated section near the center. The retaining walls are made of snecked slate stone rubble, and there is a round dressed slate stone arch leading to the grotto niche. The terrace serves as a pathway from the south side of the house to a garden feature at the southern end. In the center of the terrace, there is a crenellated section on the east side, with the grotto niche positioned below it. The niche features a round arch and is adorned with large scattered rocks to the east.
