Cadw's description
Location
Forms part of the western boundary to Plas Power Park, from closeto Nant Bridge to Rhosberse Lodge on Rhosberse Road.
History
Plas Power was completely remodelled in 1858 for Thomas Lloyd Fitzhugh, by John Gibson, architect, of London. The reconstruction of the house formed part of an extensive programme of improvement and rebuilding on the estate, and the wall was erected c1860 as part of this programme.
Exterior
Rusticated rock-faced rubble with rustic projecting castellations, varying in height.
Reason for designation
Included as an integral part of the mid C19 landscaping of Plas Power Park, and as an excellent example of the Picturesque style adopted in various interpretations for most of the mid C19 work at Plas Power.
