Description

The churchyard walls and entrance stile date from around the early 19th century. The walls are constructed of granite rubble faced with earth hedges, and they flank a granite grid stile. The side walls, which form gate piers, are granite ashlar with dressed granite copings. The gates themselves are 20th-century additions. The stile is aligned with the south doorway of the Church of Saint Towennac.
