- Almost seems too big for a garden wall, perhaps it’s a deer fence

Description
- Sandstone, oolitic limestone
- The facing stones vary in size with the largest 0.70x0.74x0.50m and the smallest being 0.11x0.07x0.11m. The rubble core stones also vary in size most being roughly around 0.13x0.11m
- The outside faces of the stones have been roughly hewn, some of stones have roughly hewn faces inside the wall (perhaps because the stones are reused)
- The number of courses that survive varies, the most courses seen in the trench is 5. No bonding (dry stone stone wall)
- Two facing sides with a rubble core
- E and W
- NA
- Length - 10.23+ Width - 0.74 Depth - 0.72
- Robbed out at the N end (we think in the Victorian period). The wall carries on to trench 11. The original full height of the wall wasn’t seen anywhere, the wall was partially dismantled and covered over
