History

Probably contemporary with the goods shed, c1869, and the opening of the Prestatyn - Dyserth line for freight traffic.

Exterior

A retaining and boundary wall in local axe-dressed limestone masonry informally coursed. The wall is about 4m high on the road side, battered at about 10 degrees from vertical. On the yard side the freestanding wall is about one and a half metres in height. Half-round sandstone coping.

The wall continues north to the boundary with adjacent property. The reduced height further continuation, fronting adjacent property, is not included in the listing.
