Medieval surrounding wall to The Cathedral Close, referred to as ruinous and in need of repair 1379, and running for some 1000m around the Close. Only a small portion remains to full height, of which the most impressive is the stretch running down from the lane W of the Deanery to Pont Cerwen Dewi; also substantial is the section running N from Porth y Twr. On the N side the wall crosses the river Alun over a rough segmental masonry arch.
There were four gates into The Close, of which Porth y Twr is the only survivor; the site of Porth Padrig being by the lane W of the Deanery, Porth Gwyn being NW of The Archdeaconry and Porth Boning adjoining The Canonry. A wall around the cathedral enclosures is thought to have existed in 1172.
