and 1.5m high. Built against embankment with double-headed Chinese,
block-constructed portals at either end. Life-size, painted plaster
sculpture of Brahmin Cow placed over wall at centre of semi-circle
(shown with canopy cover in Country Life article of 1905); 2 serpent
forms are cut into the lawn in front of the retaining wall. Forms
