Description

This structure consists of a wall, railings, and gates located about 20 meters west of the Church of St Mary, dating from the mid-19th century. The wall is approximately 40 meters long and about 1 meter high, constructed from squared granite rubble with granite coping on top. The railings are made of cast iron and feature knob finials, with the principal rails shaped like balusters and topped with urn finials, although some finials are missing. The railings include one continuous horizontal rail. There is an off-centre pair of gates that match the railings, with a top rail that ramps down, supported by two semi-circular struts and one horizontal rail.
