Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
Set into a sunken site in the shrubbery to W of the house; close to the railed boundary with Butler Hill.
History
Built sometime between 1791 and 1795.
Exterior
Oval shape of rubble construction and rounded slate roof. Its position and style may suggest that it was more ornamental than functional - the rustic design was probably derived from known picturesque garden or estate examples. Semicircular arched doorway with recessed boarded door; circular openings to each side and another opposite the doorway.
Interior
Internally there is a low set floor and beamed ceiling.
Reason for designation
Group value with Plas Newydd and other listed items in the grounds.
