Description
The forecourt of the Brecknock Museum is enclosed by stone dwarf walls and heavy cast iron railings. These walls and railings are arranged in two main sections on either side of the entrance to the forecourt. The wall on the south side of the building is taller because the road outside slopes down towards the River Usk. The walls and railings extend to the rear of the building as well.
