Description
The Railed Monument located east of St Tyfriog's Church is a large L-shaped enclosure featuring high cast iron rails topped with spike finials and corner posts adorned with trophy finials. The gateway on the south side has an elaborately scrolled wrought iron over-arch, with short flanking sections of rails filled with scrollwork, each ending in a triplet of trophy finials.
Within the enclosure is a Gothic style headstone dating from around 1900. It has a crocketted gable with a leafy finial, and carved leafwork at the bases of the gable and colonettes. The headstone is signed at the base: "D.T. Llandyssil".
