Photos from north side of GCP south service road - Stopped by this afternoon as I was in the area - perhaps on going construction of the house to the immediate west could have been the cause - I’m speculating it could be soil disturbance - imho debris is indicative of minimal anchorage of the decorative masonry wall - the wood timber wall held up fairly well by comparison - this will be a pretty costly restoration
