The present Gyrn Castle was built for John Douglas, a Holywell cotton manufacturer, in the period 1817-24, and was an enlargement of an earlier house. The house was subsequently bought by Sir Edward Bates, a Liverpool merchant and ship owner. The boundary wall and gateway were built in the third quarter of the C19 and are first shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey, but details of the gateway suggest that in its present form it is a later insertion.
An embattled high wall of rubble stone, with a gateway at the E end abutting the NW corner of the walled garden. The gateway has a 4-centred arch, which is of coursed stone in the R jamb. The wall on the W side is stepped out in front of the gateway.
Listed as an integral component of the well-preserved service buildings at Gyrn Castle.
