GV II
Churchyard boundary wall with lych gate and stiles. Undated, C20 lych. Surrounding
wall is rough squared drystone rubble without capping or coping, varying in
height from c800mm to 1.5m, containing to east and south built-in upright sandstone
slab stiles approached externally by rough stone steps; a third stile may be
located to north, but here the walling overgrown with ivy at time of survey,
December 1983. Main entrance, from west, through wide gabled lych gate in
coursed stone with stone slate roof carried across opening on deep wood lintols
to brackets on stone corbels, pair of wood gates and a small swing gate, to
left of and outside main construction. This is an example of the roughly oval
enclosure, probably indicating a Celtic site, and similar to that at the Church
of St Andrew, Woolaston (qv). It is included principally for this historic
interest.
