Description

A tall double plank door of weathered wood is set in a stone wall, framed by a carved or moulded timber surround and a lintel beam. Round iron nails stud the planks, and an iron ring knocker hangs on the left leaf. Dressed stone blocks and rubble line the wall, and dry grass or thatch shows along the top; the ground in front is paved with flat stones.
