Protective layer of C18 or C19 red brick on top. C19 iron gate with pointed head, apparently designed for the arch.
Patch of granite ashlar walling at either side of arch is surmounted by 2 pieces of re-set granite, one on each side, splayed on the underside, the splay cut to a very slight hollow. Believed locally to be the remnant of a monastery, but no such institution is known to have existed in the town.
