Cadw's description
Location
To the NE of Bryn Corach, opposite Muriau Cerrg on the corner with Cadnant Park.
History
Bryn Corach was built in the second half of the C19. The gate piers and walls to the back drive are shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.
Exterior
Round rubble-stone gate piers, the caps overgrown and partly missing. On the R side is a splayed section of wall incorporating a pointed arch with later boarded door. Inside the drive on the L side is a lower round pier to an iron gate. The drive has rubble-stone walls and at the S end are 2 more round gate piers, the caps overgrown and partly missing.
Reason for designation
Listed as piers and walls of definite C19 character, and for group value with Bryn Corach and its garden walls.
