The Devilstone wall and garden walls to the north at Parsonage Farmhouse are likely from the 18th century and early 19th century. The rubble retaining wall is approximately 5 to 6 feet high and about 5 yards long, connecting to the house at its south-west corner.

These walls are also about 5 to 6 feet high and feature moulded stone coping. The north wall is approximately 30 yards long, the east wall is about 40 yards long, and there is a short return to the south measuring about 10 yards.
