Cadw's description
Location
Situated to the north of the former school along the boundary wall on Cardiff Road.
History
Later C19. This feature could be contemporary with the main school building in 1851 but may well date with the later C19 extension. The school is now closed and is in process of being converted to domestic use.
Exterior
Stone dwarf wall with ashlar coping. Iron railings with uprights alternately with fleur-de-lys finials and looped at the top in pairs. Standards at intervals. Three small gates. Partly damaged and to be restored during conversion to domestic use.
Reason for designation
Included as a part of the important group of historic estate buildings at the centre of St. Fagans village.
