Cadw's description
Location
Lining the west side of the road along the boundaries of Gileston Manor and the Churchyard of the Church of St. Giles.
History
Mostly C19 in construction but of several dates and possibly incorporating some earlier work. It fronts the gardens and stable yard of Gileston Manor (qv) and the Churchyard of the Church of St. Giles (qv).
Exterior
Built of local lias limestone rubble with some dressed stone. Coped walls about 2m in height which incorporate the gatepiers and iron gate of the Church of St. Giles (qv), the wing walls and gatepiers with pyramid caps and the timber gate to the house and the similar gatepiers to the stable yard. North of the stable block (qv) the wall has a cock-and-hen coping. The wall runs for about 200m along the west side of the lane.
