Tall stone needle on a large square-section pedestal with soffit-moulded cap and moulded plinth. It is fenced in by spear-headed iron railings with more ornate clustered-shaft corner posts. The obelisk is uninscribed and apparently built simply as a landscape feature. Its situation dominates the horizon from the Orangery (q.v.) and Italianate Gardens (q.v.).
