Description
The kitchen garden walls and adjoining former kennels, now used as a goose-pen, date from around 1803 and are located approximately 50 metres to the north-west of Longner Hall. The walls are constructed of red brick in monk bond with a stone coping and enclose a rectangular area measuring approximately 70 metres by 40 metres, standing about 4 metres high. They feature a plinth, buttresses, and the top three courses are set back with stone coping. There is a boarded doorway in the wall to the south. The south-west corner is chamfered, and the south-east corner is angled out to connect with the stable range. A short section of the north wall extends to the east and then returns south to link with the farm buildings. The former kennels to the west consist of red sandstone rubble pen walls with ashlar dressings, and there is a red brick lean-to against the garden wall, topped with a plain tile roof and a brick stack. The pen walls have chamfered coping, and there is a chamfered four-centred archway in the wall to the west with a boarded door. The lower walls around the pen to the south are also noted.
