Cadw's description
Location
Situated on SW side of unmetalled lane leading down to bridge over river and Cloister Hall, and with short return back to Treasurer's House.

Uncertain date. Garden wall to NE side of garden of Treasurer's House, running from house to River Alun along lane to Cloister Hall.

Rubble stone. Short section of about 8m from house to corner with cambered-arched doorway by house, then splayed NE angle and some 45m length down towards the river, varying in height from about 2m to about 1.5m. By NE angle there is a low (about 1m high) blocked, segmental-arched opening with single stone for head. Possibly C16. In centre of long wall is C19 garden door with brick pointed head.
