Flat stone coping with concrete render over, supporting large free-standing water-worn limestone blocks, of different shapes set at various angles in good rustic fashion. Plain wooden door to centre, the coping rising over it, but also supporting limestone blocks. The wall has rounded front corners, that to L joining a rubble stone wall to footpath, that to R joining a shop.
