A large concrete embankment marks a sharp drop in the levels. This part of south Bristol was originally an open space known as Mutton Hill, overlooking a now-lost ore works. Although most of the houses were built in the nineteenth century (in typical terraces) these houses here were a later addition, possibly twentieth century. The revetment may be of that age.
