Description
This boundary wall surrounds Fordhay House, likely dating from the 18th century but with later alterations. The wall is constructed of stone rubble, standing approximately 3.5 metres high and topped with two courses of clay pantiles along the ridge. A pointed arch doorway, added in the 19th century, is located on the western side, facing the road, and is fitted with a boarded door. The wall forms an important feature of the street scene and contributes significantly to the character of the group of structures associated with Fordhay House. It extends northwards for about 20 metres from the house, and then eastwards for a further 20 metres towards Barn Cottage.
