75m Section of Kitchen Wall to NW of New Castle

This is an 18th-century section of brick wall located about 60 metres northwest of the main house, facing south across the gardens that adjoin the house to the north and west.

The wall is largely unaltered and approximately 4 metres high at the right-angled corner closest to the entrance of the house. It is constructed of bonded red brick with stone cappings and a sloping brick plinth. A curved-topped buttress supports the east corner, although the section running north from here is largely a modern rebuild. The listed portion of the wall extends due west for about 75 metres, gradually reducing in height to approximately 3 metres as it approaches the corner next to the roofless potting shed.

Towards the eastern end, there is a small pointed brick arch featuring a right-hand stone impost and a Georgian-style ironwork gate. At the top end of this section, there is a second brick archway and another ironwork gate, which includes Georgian-style scrollwork and dog-bars. The main part of the wall contains three pairs of bee-boles with cambered brick heads set low in the plinth, with an additional pair of similar bee-boles located to the west of the upper gate.
