Place & story

The garden enclosure

Pallas’s walled garden dates from around 1800. Rubble limestone walls enclose the site, with an elliptical arch over the northern entrance and a dressed stone keystone. The architectural inventory records the remains of a small garden building against the eastern wall, together with a wrought-iron double gate elsewhere in the boundary. These features belong to the later estate landscape around the medieval castle. [2]
