Statement of Interest

A Group with Castle Kennedy (see separate list description). The garden walls were probably built when the castle was improved circa 1607 and appears marked into quarters on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, 1848. The gatepiers to the SW elevation with obelisk finials resting on ball-feet mirror those found near the entrance to Castle Kennedy, dating from the earlier 18th century.
