Includes: Precinct wall to north of the former Abbey of St
Edmund MUSTOW STREET.
A high wall 80 metres long stretching along the south side of
Mustow Street from the site of the former East Gate to the
present entry into the Abbey Gardens. C12. In flint, much of
it coursed, some knapped, divided into 9 bays by stepped
ashlar-faced buttresses. At the east end, rough irregular
flintwork marks the former position of the East Gate, removed
in 1760. At the west end, 2 higher buttresses flank a 3-metre
area of coursed flint and stone; a blocked window on the upper
face has chamfered stone jambs. The wide inner splay of this
window can be seen on the inner side of the wall.
Scheduled Ancient Monument.
