Single, tall, elliptical arch with projecting course above. Plain parapet with chamfered coping and plain iron railings which extends over angled rubble wing revetment walls. Date on keystone but most of the other stones bear carved numbers up to 7 some on at least 2 faces. These seem to relate to the dressing of the stones not to a reconstruction and can be seen elsewhere in the gardens, particularly in the West Terrace Walls (q.v.).
