Description
The gate piers, flanking walls, and wall linking Highlow Hall and the flanking walls date from the early 18th century. They are constructed from ashlar gritstone, square in section, and rise from a shallow plinth. The piers feature drip moulds below boldly projecting moulded caps without finials. The adjoining garden walls are made of coursed rubble gritstone, with chamfered ashlar copings, extending to the northwest and southeast of the gate piers. These walls form the northeast boundary of a walled enclosure to the southwest of Highlow Hall. Connecting the Hall to the enclosure wall is a taller wall of coursed rubble, also with a chamfered ashlar coping, which includes a quoined doorway at the junction of the wall and the house.
