Appraisal
These simple estate walls surrounding the Castle Forbes (13303001) demesne form part of an interesting group of related structures associated with this country house/castle. Although the boundary walls have been poorly repaired with cement in various places, they generally survive in good condition and provide context to this great country estate. Adding historic appeal to the roadscape/landscape to the north of Newtown-Forbes.
