adjacent wall, simple overthrow with lamp with acrotoria. Running as boundary to St

wall of varying height; each panel contains 27 slender uprights with flattened
spear termination, main posts stayed by iron supports. Dwarf wall, acting as

The railings are for the most part in good condition at time of survey, especially
since they are unusually delicate in design.
