Description
The walled garden at Camis Eskan House is a large rectangular structure dating from the 18th or early 19th century, located to the south of the house. It measures approximately 60 metres by 50 metres. The garden is enclosed by a notably high rubble wall featuring harl-pointing, droved ashlar quoins, dressed margins, and ashlar slab coping. Inside, there are remains of stone lean-to service structures against the inner south wall, as well as the foundations of former glasshouses along the outer south wall.
The walled garden first appears on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, surveyed in 1860 and published in 1862, maintaining the same rectangular shape seen today. Its construction method and masonry details suggest it was built in the 18th century, particularly noted in the style of the droved ashlar dressings and corner-angle quoins. The internal lean-to structures and external glasshouses have been in a state of ruin since at least 1979, when the Camis Eskan House, Dovecot, Lodge, and Walled Garden were first listed.
