Triumphal Arch At Approximately 1060 Metres South East Of Castle Hill House

The Triumphal Arch, located approximately 1060 metres south-east of Castle Hill House in Filleigh, is a Grade II listed eye-catcher built around 1730 and rebuilt after a gale around 1960. It is constructed from roughly coursed rubble with some dressed stone. The arch features a large central arch with a semi-circular head, flanked by smaller arches, all of which have keystones. The keystones of the outer arches are integrated into a corniced band that runs across and around the pier. Above each outer arch is a sunk panel, and there is a large cornice that spans across and around the top of the central arch. The centre is ramped up with a sunk panel and a top cornice. Notably, the architectural decoration is present only on the side facing Castle Hill House. This structure is part of the improvements made to Castle Hill in the 1730s, likely under the direction of Lords Herbert and Burlington.
