At Piercefield Park (nprn 266015), north of Chepstow, the walled kitchen garden is situated to the immediate north-west of the house ruins (20654). Described in the 1793 Sale Particulars, the garden was built in the second half of the eighteenth century.
The garden is rectangular in shape, aligned north-west by south-east, and is nearly 2 hectares (5 acres) in extent. It is bounded on the south-west by a stone wall and on all other sides by walls of brick on a stone foundation, standing to their full height. Down the centre (north-west/south-east) is a brick cross-wall. The interior is now grassed over and featureless except for a few old fruit trees and a circular brick-lined well surrounded by iron railings in the middle of the north-eastern half. Against the wall in the north corner is a small, simple two-storey cottage of brick and slate, which is occupied. Along the inside of the north-west wall is a range of ruined glasshouses, and along the outside is a range of single-storey bothies of stone and slate, which are in agricultural use. Beyond the north wall is a well-preserved underground ice-house (700322).
