Marking the boundary between the rural properties of Lanyon and Yarralumla, this remnant stone wall--much of which was lost during development of Tuggeranong--is a reminder of a little known part of the valley's history.It was built by convicts between 1867 and 1875 using techniques including dry stone wall, mortared stones and a ditch and bank system with wire fencing for rabbit proofing. The remnant wall is best seen from the river side of Athlon Drive opposite Anketell Street junction, or from the Murrumbidgee River Walking Trail between Pine Island Reserve and Red Rocks Gorge.
