Cadw's description
Location
Walled roughly square enclosure around the Newborough cross.
History
Walled enclosure, presumably of 1891 when the cross was erected, but similar to the other walls erected in the late C19 by the Newborough estate.
Exterior
Walls enclosing square area around the cross, rubble stone with squared stone cappings and two square gatepiers at W entry with raised band below cap.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the cross and neighbouring Abbey ruin, and part of the pattern of stone-walled enclosures which is a characteristic feature of the Bardsey landscape.
