Description
The churchyard walls at Llanddarog church are approximately round in shape and constructed of rubble stone, reaching up to 2 meters in height, topped with cock-and-hen coping. At the southern end of the churchyard, the wall serves as a retaining wall. The main entrance is marked by a lychgate on the western side, which is made of rubble stone featuring dressed quoins, an elliptical arch of roughcast over brick, and an ivy-covered gabled slate roof. This lychgate includes double wrought-iron gates, with similar gates located at the northwest entrance. At the southern end, there is a circular fold with a full-height opening on the southern side. Additionally, a Victorian letter box, cast by WT Allen & Co of London and presented by the Post Office in 1987, is set into the wall.
