Description

The shell niche and steps at the Dell, located to the north of Goodwood House, is a garden feature dating from around 1730, created for the second Duke of Richmond. It is constructed from brick and stone and features a round-arched niche that was originally framed by a double flight of stone steps, although only one set of steps remains today. The niche includes a brick arch, side recesses, and shell-lining. At the time of inspection on February 3, 2000, the structure was noted to be partly collapsed. This niche is one of several features situated around the bowl of a man-made amphitheatre, all built for the second Duke of Richmond as part of his famous menagerie.
