This section of wall on Wilbury Avenue is part of a former hare warren dating from the late C17th; fragments also exist in neighbouring roads. The listed building description records that it, "originally comprised a brick-walled enclosure with egress holes fitted with little trap doors at intervals along the west side ... the walls have been broken down in places to allow space for entrances to C20 houses." Grade II listed.
