Probably predominantly early to earlier 19th century incorporating earlier fabric (see Notes). Long high stretch of policy walls forming southern boundary to Callendar Wood and formerly denoting boundary of Callendar House policies. Mostly sandstone rubble with flat coping, some large boulders and brick infill. Of variable state of repair.

The policy walls to Callendar House are an integral part of Callendar Park and form a distinctive long stretch of wall which denotes the boundary of the Callendar Park policies. The wall is difficult to date accurately and it is likely that it has been repaired and augmented over the years. Callendar House itself has late 14th century origins and what is now Callendar Wood is likely to have been a hunting park. Pont's map of 1583-96 shows a large wooded area surrounding Callendar House. Grasson's map of 1817 shows the boundary of the policy walls as they appear today.
The walls runs approximately from NS 88521 79072 to NS 88583 78790 to NS 89119 78645 to NS 89648 78640 to
NS 89883 78663 to NS 90389 78713 to NS 90730 78845.
