South Boundary Wall of the Stable Court including the Drinking Fountain on Castle Hill

The South Boundary Wall of the Stable Court, which includes a drinking fountain, is located on Castle Hill. From the south side of the entrance to the stables, a boundary wall made of limestone rubble extends downhill. Near the north-east end of this wall, there is a stone drinking fountain set in a recess. The fountain features a semi-octagonal stone base positioned at the top of two stone steps, within a niche in the rear wall framed by a horseshoe-shaped blind arch supported by slender circular columns of granite.

To the south-west of the fountain, an older limestone rubble wall continues downhill before turning in towards the southern end of the eastern wing of the castle stables. Below this turning point, a much lower boundary wall made of stone, with rough capping and buttresses, descends downhill and then angles north at approximately 90 degrees towards the southern wing of the stables. From this angle, a low and roughly built retaining and embankment wall of stone extends south-westwards downhill towards No. 1 Castle Hill.
