Cadw's description
Location
Immediately to the north west of The Priory Hotel.
History
A probably early C19 wall, although the lower sections could be older.
Exterior
High wall built of local red sandstone and conglomerate rubble to the High Street and faced in red brick to the yard behind, flat stone capping. The wall is about 30m in length and 3.5m in height. The rear face perhaps had greenhouses built against it at some time. The former stable wing to The Priory Hotel is now listed together with that (qv).
Reason for designation
Included for strong group value with the Priory Hotel and the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
