Cadw's description
Location
Stone wall to the north, south and east boundaries of Bryn Eglwys.
History
Mid-C19 boundary wall to Bryn Eglwys.
Exterior
Encloses the south, north and east boundaries of Bryn Eglwys, thus forming a roughly rectangular shape, although unwalled to the west. Irregularly coursed rubblestone with stone-on-edge coping; iron gates to splayed north-east corner. The southern stretch of wall forms the community boundary with Bontnewydd.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-preserved mid-C19 boundary wall, which forms a good group with the contemporary house and stables/coach house at Bryn Eglwys.
