Rubble stone and red brick English garden bond walled garden, c.1770.
This walled garden pre-dates the related game keeper's house, suggesting that an earlier structure may have existed on this site. The walls are constructed using red brick and stone which add textural interest to the site. This walled garden forms part of an interesting group with the Slane Castle demesne.
