Cadw's description
Location
Situated bordering on footpath running NW from Pen-y-ffos and on road running NE to the Treasurer's House, enclosing SW and NW sides of garden S of Treasury Cottage.
History
Uncertain date, high rubble stone garden wall with C20 rebuilt crenellations capped in imitation slate. About 25m length to footpath to Pen-y-ffos, with blocked possibly ancient Tudor-arched doorway close to Pen-y-ffos. Footpath is cobbled in reddish cobbles with a date 1705 in white stones at N end. The wall is marked with outbuilding or summerhouse in NW angle on Joseph Lord's 1720 map, though NW angle is shown more acutely pointed than present right angle.
Exterior
Along roadside, about 38m length back to Treasury Cottage, terminating at Treasury Gateway, a Tudor-arched carriage entry with cut stone voussoirs, probably C19. 1970s imitation slate coping. Broad E jamb with rounded recess or porter's seat, the seat itself a single piece of hollowed granite, supposedly the stone on which St Patrick sat when he had a vision of all Ireland and the people calling him to return.
