The kitchen garden wall and tower, located 170 metres southeast of Banwell Castle, date from the mid-19th century. Constructed from rubble and brick, the long wall stands approximately 2 metres high and features a pointed gateway made of brick, which has two returns. The eastern return leads to a circular tower that is around 4 metres high, with an embattled design, a pointed door, and slit windows. This structure is now part of a nursery.
