History

Much rebuilt section of retaining wall with low rubble parapet wall following line of The Parade but broken for broad footpath halfway along. The Parade is marked on old maps, and the line of the walls may be ancient, but they are primarily of importance in the view of the town from the S.

Exterior

Rubble stone retaining walls and low parapet walls, much rebuilt in later C20. The Parade rises from Common Road at a point roughly to rear of No 31 Main Street and continues W to Westgate Presbyterian Church, with a broad path descending to Common Road roughly at half-distance.
Both E and W sections have retaining walls of stone rubble and low parapets occasionally indented for streetlight recesses. Part of length has no visible retaining wall, just rebuilt low wall above earth bank.
