Square terminal posts. The eastern wall extends northwards stopping at a contemporary sunken service lane which passes by the northern end. It is deep, narrow with battered walls. It is spanned by a pedestrian bridge with walls each side in the same style as the terrace wall parapets. This bridge crosses from the house side of the walled gardens to north.
