Description
The wall in the churchyard to the north, south, and west of the Church of St Luke is a 19th-century structure that was restored in 1976. It is made of mud, chopped straw, and small stones, resting on a plinth of pebble and ironstone rubble. The wall features a thatched roof covering. On the west side of the churchyard, there is a section approximately 2 meters high that runs for about 38 meters and returns for about 10 meters to the east. This section incorporates the remains of a former slaughterhouse. Additionally, there is another section on the south side of the churchyard, which is about 2.5 meters high and extends for approximately 39 meters. A doorway is located at the west end of the wall.
