Description

The boundary wall at Kilvrough Manor is a curving structure made of rubble stone, approximately 200 meters long and 3 meters high, topped with saddleback slag coping. The inner face of the central section is constructed of brick and features a flat stone coping, marking the area of the former kitchen garden, which has a return wall on the east side. To the east of the former kitchen garden, there is a wide gateway with square dressed stone piers that have pyramidal caps and modern doors. On the west side, beyond the former kitchen garden, there is a pedestrian doorway framed by a dressed-stone surround with a segmental head. The wall continues as a field boundary wall at the west end and terminates at the east end with a square pier made of coursed rock-faced stone. A short return wall flanking the main gateway is built of snecked, rock-faced stone and is stepped down to align with the level of the gateway pier. The pier and return wall were built around the same time as Kilvrough Lodge, which dates to 1872, along with the gateway.
