Cadw's description
Location
Situated immediately S of Bryn Iorcyn Manor House.
History
Probably constructed C17, perhaps broadly contemporary with the C17 remodelling of Bryn Iorcyn Manor House. An additional wall has been constructed late C20 to the S and W of the W wing of the house, connecting with the S wall of this part of the garden. This is not included in the listing.
Exterior
Walled garden of stone rubble with roughly shaped stone parapet. In the S wall a pair of stone gatepiers with stone ball finials form the entrance to the garden and are aligned with the main entrance to the house. The E wall is shared with the walled garden E of the house and has an arched entrance connecting the two gardens c3m south of the house.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good example of compartmental walled garden probably of C17 date and for group value with the listed buildings and structures at Bryn Iorcyn Manor.
Group value with the walled gardens E and N of Bryn Iorcyn Manor House and with the Dove House and privy at Bryn Iorcyn Manor.
