GV
II

Ha-Ha, gates, gate piers and wall. Probably early C19. Coursed, dressed
sandstone; wrought-iron gates. Ha-Ha to front of Morthen Hall (q.v.) has
retaining wall approximately 16 metres in height with rounded copings. At
each end the wall, now with chamfered copings, sweeps up to low, rusticated
gate piers with pyramidal caps; double gates with scrolled lower panels. Walls
continue round to link with taller garden walls with ball finials at junction
(right finial missing). Taller walls curve round to link with wings of Morthen
Hall thus enclosing front garden. Included for group value.
