Full description

The original south boundary wall is a double wall incorporating a walkway. Constructed of randomly coursed limestone it stands circa 3.5 metres high. The northern boundary of the workhouse site [alongside East Street] is a neat stone wall surmounted by railings for much of its length. Midway along is a slightly projecting structure which appears to be an infilled niche. The present entrance, formerly for the workhouse, retains a pair of gate piers on the eastern side and a single one on the west which sit well with the lodge. The wall to the west of the lodge has been rebuilt.
The eastern boundary is formed by a continuous stone rubble wall along Western Road. About half way along the road is an inserted plaque. The boundary walls, which survive intact, are considered to be of high significance.
