Curious walling close to Brooklands
Curious walling close to Brooklands
The high wall to the right of the road (A712), west of Crocketford is unusual. It has three sections, all crenellated with the centre one being taller than the others. The part nearest to the camera has a small, now roofless building incorporated into the rear. The structure stands opposite to the entrance to the property at Brooklands.
A possible folly?
