Walled Garden, Camis Eskan House

A large 18th or early 19th century, rectangular-plan walled garden, located to the south of Camis Eskan House (LB1169) and measuring around 60 metres by 50 metres. The walled garden has a notably high rubble wall with harl-pointing, droved ashlar quoins and dressed margins, and ashlar slab coping. There are the remains of stone lean-to service structures against the inner south wall, and the foundations of former glasshouses adjoining the outer south wall.

The walled garden at Camis Eskan first appears on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map (surveyed 1860, published 1862) in the same rectangular footprint as exists today (2022). Its method of construction and its masonry detailing are indicative of an 18th century date, particularly the style of droved ashlar dressings and corner-angle quoins. The internal lean-to structures and the external glasshouses have been ruinous since at least 1979, when the Camis Eskan House, Dovecot, Lodge and Walled Garden were first listed (LB1169, LB1167, LB1138, LB1175).
