Description
In front of the south side of Tracy Park, there are four large urns and a balustrade, dating from the mid-19th century. Made of limestone, the urns sit on square pedestals featuring recessed panels and shell carvings, along with a cornice and plinth. Each urn has a moulded stem, a fluted base leading to the bowl, a concave neck, and a ball finial on top. The curved balustrade wall, which is about 20 metres long and one metre high, includes dies with raised panels, balusters, and flat coping. There is also a balustrade located about 2 metres east of the urns.
