Description

The wall on the northeast side of the driveway to the Stables is approximately 90 meters long and 1.7 meters high. It is constructed of uncoursed rubble stonework and features a two-stage gabled ashlar coping. At the lower end, the wall terminates in a low square pier topped with three-stage copings that form a pyramid. At the upper end, the wall departs from the road and rises to create a gateway flanked by piers, connecting the park and the yard, and continues beyond to meet the west wall of the castle.
