Description
The walls, gates, and gatepiers to the stable yard, located east of the Alexander Keiller Museum, date from the 18th century and later. The walls are constructed of sarsen stone, featuring limestone piers and iron gates, creating a rectangular enclosure that is paved with sarsen setts, situated immediately east of the former stables, which now house the museum. The wall curves to the east and connects to a dovecote. The north gates to the yard are rusticated and include a cornice with urn finials. There is a second pair of gate piers on the east side of the yard, which have a concrete cornice and ball finials set in acanthus cups. The wrought iron gates, added around 1982, display the initials of Nevill-Glidden in an overthrow. The dog rails feature arrow terminals. The wall adjacent to the dovecote stands approximately 1.2 meters high and is topped with weathered limestone copings.
