The walls are made of slate stone rubble and enclose the churchyard of the Church of Petroc. The slate is arranged in horizontal courses, featuring a horizontal string course and vertically laid slate capping above. On the south wall, there is a ledger stone commemorating Thomas Pearse, a mariner who died in 1709. The stone includes a marginal inscription and a verse in the central panel.
