History

Walls of C15 or earlier, marking out the medieval double burgage plot to the rear of Nantclwyd House. Maps going back to 1780 show a narrow range against the S wall, adjacent to Nantclwyd House, probably explaining the height of the wall in this location.

Exterior

Rubble stone wall of varying height. On the S side, the wall is up to 4m high adjacent to the house (temporarily reduced at time of survey). Its external side, facing into the courtyard of Bron y gaer, has a former doorway infilled with brick. To the R, the wall steps back, with an infilled lean-to in the angle; it continues at c2.5m height, with flat stone coping and coped offset, stepping down towards the W. In the SW angle is a C20 stone garden feature. Along the W side, the wall is stepped down and broken towards the centre, to form access to the former Lord's garden. In the NW angle, the W and N walls join the gazebo. The N wall of the garden is c2m high with concrete coping, with an entrance to the R, and further entrance cut in to far R, adjacent to the house.
