Description

The wall is constructed of carefully squared and snecked sandstone blocks. L-shaped wall enclosing the orchard of Ty-Cooke. It stretches about 25m along the road and about 50m up the entrance lane to Ty-Cooke having turned a right-angle at the former gatehouse. It then turns another right-angle and continues as a narrow gabled archway with a dovehouse in the gable. This arch gives access to the cobbled yard between the two listed houses at Ty-Cooke. The wall is about 3m high while the corner turret rises to about 4m. This is square and has beeen truncated. There is a blocked apparently C17 doorway with a dripmould over on the ground floor. Above this the wall has been rebuilt and capped off with coping stones. The interior face was not seen. This turret was possibly a gazebo from which the first floor has been removed.
