Exterior

High rubble stone garden wall running S from reputed site of north gate to Close, Porth Boning. Opposite front door of the house there is a pointed chamfered arched doorway that may be medieval, with C19 panelled wooden door. Wall is stepped up over doorway with slate-capped parapet and raised rubble piers each side. At right end of wall, segmental arched gateway to service entrance. Adjoining to left, a stone projection that may be part of Porth Boning. At left end, walls returns slightly and there is a garden entrance with pointed chamfered doorway.
