With Sleaford Road beyond the stone wall on the photographer's right, and looking in the direction of Queen's road (towards the town centre), these are remains of ramparts and ditches that formed part the north-eastern corner of Newark's Civil War town defences (1642-46). Where the ground slopes upwards to meet the wall it has been suggested that the height of these earthwork defences could have measured between 8-12 metres.
