Description

Local red sandstone facing to grey limestone perimeter wall with freestone coping. The main entrance and the similar former entrance to SW have rusticated gate piers including to pedestrian gates to left. Main entrance has simple overthrow with modern lamp. To the right of the main entrance the wall is gently stepped up following Allt-yr-Yn View and it is stepped out for defensive reasons at each of the five corners of this almost trapezoidal shaped site (3 to SW and 2 to NE) - the main 4 corners being especially pointed. The design of the wall enables both ‘enfilade; and ‘defilade’ battle in the event of an attack. The wall is broken to rear near the Officers Mess.
