Dovecote incorporated into walls.

Multiple-bay single-storey outbuildings to west having pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and painted rendered walls. Round-headed openings with replacement timber doors. Remains of Castle Hyde towerhouse to site.
These substantial walled gardens form an integral part of Castlehyde Demesne. They are well-constructed of stone, with brick lining to the garden sides, as was typical, for retaining heat within the enclosure. The insertion of nesting boxes for pigeons is an interesting feature of the structures.
