There are not many free standing dry stone walls surviving in N E Herefordshire, and only fragments survive of this one which was built in the 19th century to separate the Downs from the Brockhampton Estate (this is in the background, part of Warren Farm). The wall ran from where Brockhampton School was later built up the hill to Warren Wood, and the stone used came from small quarries very near by.
