A 200mm by 800mm recess rising 2m on the south side displays the wrought iron fixings for the gate now gone. The recess is rendered in lime mortar and reveals brickwork behind. The top hat coping is finely cut with a projecting cornice. It is missing on the sister pillar to the south. The adjacent wall is 1.5m high the pillars at the end 2m.
