Cadw's description
Location
Enclosing an irregularly shaped churchyard, at the N side of the road linking the A5 with the B5109 at Bodffordd.
History
The churchyard wall and SE and SW gated entrances were probably erected when the church was rebuilt in the mid C19; the SW entrance includes a C15 doorway.
Exterior
Low rubble wall with roughly embattled coping. The principal entrance to the church is in the SW wall, the walling stepped up above C15 doorway with 2 centred arch. There is another gateway in the SE wall, also stepped up over a pointed arched gateway, probably built in the mid C19 to match the principal entrance.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good vernacular rural churchyard wall which includes 2 well-detailed entrances, one with a C15 doorway. Forms a group with the adjacent Church of St Llwydian.
