Wall with gates and gate-piers together with ha-ha and steps enclosing Carne's Seat, The Shell House and The Privy

GV
II

Garden wall and ha-ha with gates and gate-piers. Probably mid-C18 for the second Duke of Richmond. Flint brought to course with brick quoins and some brick; rounded iron-stone and ashlar coping with some replacement brick; ashlar gate-piers; iron gates. The rear (north-east) wall is approx 1 metre tall, and partly collapsed. The side walls ramp down to form a ha-ha across the front of the garden, which is interrupted at the centre, in front of Carne's Seat (qv), by a double flight of stone steps rising over an arched niche. In the centre of the rear wall (again in line with Carne's Seat) is a recessed pedestrian entrance, linked by quadrant brick walls to the main garden wall, and having: ashlar gate-piers with vermiculated bases, Greek key decoration to capitals, and pineapple finials; and gate with spiked bars and arrow-finialled dog-bars. Pedestrian entrance at south-east corner has ashlar piers with pyramidal capstones, and adjacent later gateway. Possibly a former similar entrance on north-west side, where one ashlar pier survives.
