GV II
Retaining wall of churchyard and flight of steps. Circa mid C19. Wall constructed
of vertically coursed slate stones with intermediate piers of horizontally coursed
slate stone. About 47 metres in length forming a retaining wall to the churchyard of
St. Michael's Church, Porthilly (qv) and the south wall of Porthilly Cove on the east
bank of the Camel estuary.
A flight of stone rubble steps rises from the cove up to the churchyard with some
reset dressed stone.
The wall is reputed to have been planned by a vicar of St. Michael's when a small
piece of land was recovered from the estuary.
