Description
The Smallack Kitchen Garden is a walled kitchen garden believed to have been built in the 18th century. It is made of local shale and features slate coping. The garden is rectangular, oriented on a south-west to north-east axis, measuring 27.5 metres by 21.3 metres. Access is provided through an opening at the center of the south-west wall.
The walls of the garden vary in height but average about 2.25 metres. They are reinforced with shallow buttresses. The slate coping, much of which has been replaced to match the original design, slopes to a ridge. The entrance piers are plain and square, topped with an additional level of coping. A small piece of carved stone was added to one of the piers in the late 20th century. In the south-west corner, a small roofed building was constructed in the late 20th century, utilizing the existing garden walls.
