Probably built late C18 enclosing an orchard for Plas Newydd. In the early C19 a larger rectangular garden was added to the E side. The Plas Newydd Estate was one of the largest estates on Anglesey, passing to the Bagenal family in 1553 and through marriage to the Bayly family in the C18. In 1812 the estate passed to Henry William, Lord Uxbridge's eldest son; Henry was created 1st Marquess of Anglesey in 1815, and his descendants inherited both estate and title. A number of improvements to the buildings of the estate followed the completion of the main house at Plas Newydd in the early C19; by 1873 the estate is recorded as being 3,848 ha in size, including scattered lands and land around the mansion of Plas Newydd.
High walled garden, sub-square in plan, of rubble masonry with the inner face lined with brick in a variation of English garden wall bond. Adjoined on the SE by the apple house, and the rectangular garden of Plas Newydd to the E. Doorway in centre of S wall in slightly advanced brick pediment; doorway in centre of W wall with flat brick-arch head, and wide break in NW corner, for tractor access. Attached the the outer side of the E wall, centrally placed, is a small 2 storey square building, known as the dovecote. Of rubble masonry with red brick facing to inner side; pyramidal roof of slates with finial and copper wind vane. Pointed archway to inner (W) side with pointed window over, set in slightly advanced pediment. Later doorway cut into E side to allow access into the rectangular garden.
