Cadw's description
Location
About 1800m north of the Church of St Tewdric on the east side of Mathern Road going towards Chepstow.
History
The house, St Tewdric (qv) is said to have been built in 1845 and the walls will have been built at the same time as the house. The wall along the road has been partly rebuilt in early 2000.
Exterior
Walls of white limestone rubble about 3m in height and about 200m in length running along Mathern Road and then returning down the St Tewdric entrance drive. There is a small door at the corner, and a number of buttresses on the inner face.
Reason for designation
Included for their group value with the adjacent St Tewdric house and the stable block.
