Description
The orchard walls at Graig Arthur Farm are constructed of rubble stone and rise up to 4 meters high, enclosing the north, west, and part of the south side of a former orchard. The north wall connects at its eastern end to a former outbuilding that has been converted into a dwelling. This wall faces a track and features a boarded door with a brick segmental head, which is offset towards the eastern end. The outer walls to the west and south include raking buttresses and low buttresses with offsets, while the west wall has some areas that have been repaired with concrete render. A ledge on the outer face of the west wall indicates that the orchard has undergone two phases of construction. The inner faces of both the west and north walls are made of brick. At the northern end of the west wall, there is an inserted round-back, plaster-vaulted alcove, above which is an ex situ sculpted stone head of uncertain date, possibly medieval.
