History
A rectangular garden, originally probably a formal parterre, which probably dates from soon after the building of Moynes Court in 1610-12. Probably built by Bishop Godwin of Llandaff when he moved to Moynes Court from his nearby residence of Mathern Palace. It now belongs to the smaller section of Moynes Court (No 2).
Exterior
Garden walls in a square to the southeast of Moynes Court and now a part of No 2. Rubble stone walls about 2m in height with a half round coping.
Interior
The internal face of the walls is as the outside. The garden contains a possibly C18 stone sundial.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Moynes Court and as a part of the historic ensemble.
