A classical archway erected by Charles Grey 1747, the remains of a rotunda or garden temple. It is built in a mixture of stone, stone and flint rubble, some Roman tiles and modern brick. The keystone of the archway about 5 ft 5 ins from the ground, is a heavy piece of weathered masonry. The whole archway is about 10 ft high and is surmounted by a rough pediment. The south-west face has been considerably restored and is slightly concave. The north-east face is the front of the archway.
