What is recorded here

Freestanding enclosing wall, built c.1800, incorporating remains of various buildings. Historically used as enclosure of military barracks. Rubble stone walls built to courses with rusticated limestone quoins. Red brick repairs and red brick additions to south-east elevation. Structural remains such as voussoirs and surrounds of now blocked windows and doors also to south-west. Jostle stones with Ordnance Survey benchmarks and lettering to corners (north-west, south-west). Located on slope (north-west to south-east) with recent factory to interior.

This substantial structure covers a well defined area in the locality and serves as a reminder of the former military presence in the town. It still forms an imposing feature on its south side where the wall is preserved to considerable height. As well as the boundary wall there are remnants of other structural features that appear to match with buildings depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
