Description
This garden screen wall, located about 15 metres north of Tower House, is likely from the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring Ham stone dressings. The wall stands approximately 3 metres high and has thin ashlar copings. At the eastern end, there is a small gateway, and towards the western end, the wall changes direction twice and is adorned with stone pineapple finials. This wall is part of an important group with Tower House and the entire Hinton House complex.
