Description
Rubble limestone walled garden, built c.1800, currently not in use. Elliptical-arched vehicular entrance to north wall, with dressed limestone voussoirs and keystone. Remains of single-storey garden building with pitched roof and rubble limestone walls to east wall of garden. Wrought-iron double-leaf gate elsewhere, set to rubble piers.
Appraisal
The scale of this formerly extensive walled garden gives some sense of the importance of the Pallas estate. Though Pallas House was demolished in after World War II, the walled garden still enhances the setting of the Pallas Castle, a fifteenth-century tower house with a sixteenth-century bawn.
