Description
The Ha-Ha boundary wall, sundial, and Grecian urn at South and East Farleigh Castle date from the 18th century. The boundary wall is made of random coursed rubble Doulting stone, standing approximately 1.5 metres high and extending about 100 metres in length. It runs parallel to and about 45 metres away from the east elevation of Farleigh Castle and the Chapel.
The sundial, also from the 18th century, is made of Doulting stone and features a square base, an octagonal plinth, and an octagonal column that is approximately 1.75 metres high. It has quatrefoil panels and pointed arches in relief, topped with an edge-moulded octagonal cap. This sundial is located about 35 metres east of the main entrance to Farleigh Castle.
The Grecian urn, again from the 18th century and made of Doulting stone, has a square base and pedestal, a voluted circular bowl, and an octagonal moulded cap inscribed with "VRO IMMORTAL." It is situated approximately 40 metres south of the south front of Farleigh Castle. These features are noted for their group value with Farleigh Castle.
