Protected Status/Designation

Full Description

On the south side of North Street there is an arrow slit or loop opening, clearly medieval in date. It is unlikely that such a feature would have been saved if the wall - at the rear of a property and now forming the north wall of an outbuilding - had been rebuilt. The masonry around the loop looks medieval and the wall stands on the line of the medieval town walls, of which it perhaps formed a part. {1}{2}
