History
Garden wall of uncertain date, the circular form with various blocked openings suggesting a date earlier than the first Bryneithin built 1825 for W E Richardes, and possibly earlier than the attached farmhouse. It is suggested that it may have been a sheepfold with fields radiating out. Marked on 1845 tithe map. The gazebo may be mid C19 as it gave a fine view of Pendinas where Richardes erected the monument to the Duke of Wellington c1854. The garden walls were heightened in the 1880s and the tower possibly rebuilt or altered.
Exterior
High uncoursed rubble wall with slate capping, with circular small tower attached on inside. Wall encloses a roughly circular area approximately 100m in diameter with present entrance to NW, flanked by tall square piers, possibly mid-C19. Tower to N is rubble stone, 2 storey, circular, with shallow conical slate roof, renewed in C20. W door to upper storey reached by flight of stone steps against inside garden wall, apparently replacing a set of unsupported stone slabs projecting from curve of tower, mostly now broken. Small window to upper floor NW with C20 glazing. French door to upper storey S, formerly giving access to timber platform, now rotted. Ground floor boarded timber door to N side.

Reason for designation
