enclosure surrounded by walls approx. 4 metres high, those of the west garden
with pilasters at regular intervals; segmental-headed doorways, some blocked; in
the centre of the north side of the east garden are the foundations and plastered
rear wall of hothouses (probably those built in 1780), and attached to the north
