Description
The structure is a rubble-stone boundary wall that surrounds the entire churchyard of Gyffin. On the south side, which faces Henryd Road, the wall features large blocks of river-borne stone at the base, cock-and-hen coping, and a later recessed entrance. This entrance includes square rock-faced gate piers and double iron gates, which are adorned with fleur-de-lis finials on the main and dog bars. The return walls at each end of the entrance are heavily overgrown. On the northeast side, there are steps leading to a footbridge, while on the north side, the wall faces the river.
