Central low portion has moulded copings surmounted by 4 corniced sandstone piers and timber balusters with moulded top and bottom rails and uprights set diagonally. Gateway at centre, flanked by rusticated sandstone piers with plinths and cornices, has later decorative wrought-iron gates with ramped tops and scrolled heads to standards.

Each pier surmounted by stone vase; similar vases at intervals on wall. Small wrought-iron lattice-patterned gate at East end. See R.C.H.M. p155.
