The slight earthworks of a formal garden, situated to the S of Mains of Huntingtower, were recorded during aerial survey in low sunlight (RCAHMSAP 2003). The site is rectangular on plan, measuring about 50m N and S by 35m E and W, and divided into regular sections. The garden is depicted as a rectangular enclosure on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867, sheet lxxiii) with another parallel enclosure some 150m to the E. It is probable that the enclosures were part of the designed landscape related to the country house of Huntingtower (NO02NE1).
