Cadw's description
Location
Fronting the road E of the house.
History
A forecourt wall probably contemporary with the school, built in 1822, and shown on the 1846 Tithe map and 1889 Ordnance Survey. The gate piers and gate are C20.
Exterior
A rubble-stone forecourt wall, retaining some saddleback copings but mainly with repaired cement coping, is approximately 70m long N-S and extends well beyond the S end of the School House. A short cast-iron-railed section is directly in front of the centre of the former school. At the N end are 3 square concrete piers with domed caps. They have a wide iron gate for vehicular access, and a narrower iron kissing gate to the L. The wall is splayed to the N corner and continues round to beyond the rear of the building on Cae Rhos.
Reason for designation
Listed for group value with the Church Hall and Church House.
