Description
The western section of the town wall is a Grade I listed structure made of uncoursed, flush-faced squared limestone rubble, primarily resting on rock foundations and featuring buff-brown quoining. Most of the wall's perimeter is still visible, with the western section being particularly well-defined. Near the Burgess gate, a tall part of the wall is integrated into a small row of cottages at numbers 41-43 Castle Hill, where it is punctuated by their windows. Additionally, the wall has been utilized as the foundation for a 19th-century house named Saronia. Further along, a long, elevated stretch of the wall extends up to the site of the Exchequer Tower.
