Description

The churchyard wall at the Church of St Michael is constructed from small boulders and topped with rough slabs of slate laid horizontally. The wall stands approximately 1.5 meters high on the outside and 70 centimeters high on the inside, with a thickness of 65 centimeters, though this varies around the perimeter. The lych gate is built differently from the wall. There is also a small section of rebuilding in the southeast quadrant.
