GV I
Part of City Wall. Late C11 to early C12 origin, converted to
raised promenade 1702-8 with subsequent repairs. Red coursed
rubble sandstone. Approx 1m north of the outer face of the
wall a retaining wall of large red sandstone blocks probably
replaces the earth bank. The south face of the wall has a 15m
length with 5 courses of large stones set back a little from
the face of adjoining lengths west and east, with a continuous
course of rounded corbels immediately below the wall walk and
thought to have been the base for the former inner timber
palisade.
This portion of the wall is approx 80m long; the wall walk is
nearly 2m wide.
St Martin's Gate 1966, bridging the gap cut to accommodate the
dual carriageway of the inner ring road, is not included in
this item.
