The wall was probably constructed in C19 out of the town wall which is said to have been largely destroyed by the late C18/early C19. The rubble medieval walls were erected after 1237 financed by a murage tax levied weekly for 3 years by Eva de Breos.
The wall has partially collapsed, is overgrown in several places and is rebuilt at S end to form a garden wall; boarded gate entrance midway along.
Included as a clearly defined and moderately long stretch of medieval town bounary.
