This garden is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map of Brecknockshire XXIII, sheet 2 (1888, 1904). This shows orchards, a viewing platform (styled tump), and a walled garden originally with regular paths, possibly from an early phase on the site. Low earthworks are visible on A/P of C R Musson's. This is probably a deserted medieval or post-medieval settlement, with the possibility of earlier origins as a village with manorial garden.

'The Parish of Glasbury in the Wye Valley offers great potential to the archaeologist searching for medieval and later settlement with or without gardens (Sylvester 1967). There, in the early fourteenth century, two important possessions of Gloucester Abbey yielded unusually high returns. These were Tyleglas and Pipton (Dawson 1918, 282-3). Both might now usefully repay intensive survey in the search for medieval gardens.'
