Description

The churchyard wall, gatepiers, and overthrow located to the south of the parish church date from the early 1860s. They are constructed from dressed volcanic trap stone, with some stones possibly being re-used from medieval times. The wall features triangular section coping stones and steps down to the east as it descends the hill. The simple wrought-iron overthrow is missing its lamp.
