Set in rubble stone boundary walls with cut stone coping and round-headed and camber-headed niches recesses with rubble stone voussoirs. Camber-headed pedestrian entrance with rubble stone voussoirs and cast-iron gate. Cut stone square-profile piers with carved caps and cast-iron double-leaf gates to entrance. Additional entrance to west with rubble sandstone sweep walls, square-profile piers and cast-iron double-leaf gates. Ruinous remains of building to north with rubble limestone walls and segmental-headed opening.
