Cadw's description
Location
Situated some 30m W of stable block, at head of path up from valley garden.
Exterior
Probably early Cl9, part of the estate improvements carried out by Benjamin Rotch, North American Quaker and owner of whaling ships, who settled at Milford at the invitation of Charges Greville and bought the Castle Hall estate l804 and extensively improved it before his bankruptcy in l8l7.
Similar to entrance gateway and archway E of modern Castle Hall House. Rubble stone with rough stone voussoirs to arch, which here is semi-circular with grey stone keystone. Creeper-clad wall-head.
Reason for designation
Included as part of the surviving features of what was an important C19 small landscaped garden. Castle Hall was demolished in l937.
