BUCKLAND MONACHORUM BUCKLAND-ABBEY SX 46 NE 3/122 Garden retaining wall running west-south-west to east-north-east approximately 35m north-west of Buckland Abbey
GV II
Garden retaining wall, originally formed part of the Abbey curtilage. Probably medieval although the crenellation may date from a later period. Stone rubble. Irregular plan, probably truncated at either end; from the evidence of several arches and the original likely layout of the abbey buildings it seems probable that this wall formed the curtilage wall to the abbey church adjoining buildings. The stone arches are irregularly placed, of varying sizes and appear to be original. The leanto rubble buttresses are C20.
