The National Monuments Service's description
To the E of the fortified house (RO039-043006-) a walled garden (RO039-043011-) was built with masonry walls. A further N-S wall (Wth 06-0.7m; H 2m) extending N (L c. 90m) of its NE angle is from the same period and may also be from a walled garden (Read 2006f), while pits and furrows revealed in archaeological testing (03E0245) are probably related.
