Section of rubble stone boundary wall, c.1850, with rubble stone vertical coping. Repointed, c.1990.

This structure is a good example of the once prolific, but increasingly rare, traditional method of constructing boundary walls. Replacement or modern boundary walls are frequently built with less attention paid to stone masonry traditions. Although repointed in a fashion that does not respect the original integrity of the construction, the boundary wall nevertheless remains an attractive feature on the side of the road in the centre of the village.
