Garden Wall and Arch at entrance to Ty-Cooke

The garden wall and arch at the entrance to Ty-Cooke is made of carefully squared and snecked sandstone blocks. It is an L-shaped wall that encloses the orchard of Ty-Cooke, stretching approximately 25 meters along the road and about 50 meters up the entrance lane, where it turns a right angle at the former gatehouse. It then makes another right angle and continues as a narrow gabled archway featuring a dovehouse in the gable. This arch provides access to the cobbled yard situated between the two listed houses at Ty-Cooke. The wall stands about 3 meters high, while the corner turret rises to about 4 meters. This turret is square and has been truncated. There is a blocked 17th-century doorway with a drip moulding above it on the ground floor. Above this doorway, the wall has been rebuilt and capped with coping stones. The interior face of the wall was not visible. This turret may have originally served as a gazebo, although the first floor has since been removed.
