The wall was built probably in the mid C19 contemporary with the work to the stables and stable yard undertaken by E W Pugin, outlining the circulation to the SW corner of the castle originally laid out by Emes in the 1760s.
The wall is approximately 90m long and 1.7m high, built of uncoursed rubble stonework, and provided with a two-stage gabled ashlar coping. At the bottom it terminates in a low square pier, with 3-stage copings forming a pyramid, and at the upper end, it departs from the road and climbs up to form a gateway with flanking piers between the park and the yard, and continues beyond to meet the W wall of the castle.
Included as a significant element in the ensemble of buildings at Chirk Castle, and an essential part of the remodelling of the stable group in the Gothic idiom.
