In the centre of the main section of retaining wall is a polished slate dedication plaque with a Latin inscription, the initials AK and JK and the date 1910. Banded balustrade piers of cement and Ruabon brick with turned terracotta balusters and cement coping. 8 classical terracotta urns surmount the balustrade and 5 urns of reconstituted stone on similar pedestals flank the paved terrace to the W; at the N end, a further urn on pedestal stands in the centre of a yew-topiary arc. 3 further ceramic urns stand on a raised plinth along the E side of the house.
