Description
The churchyard wall and gates of the Church of St. Owain are constructed from coursed local limestone rubble, with the Victorian sections being more carefully squared than the older parts. The wall stands approximately 1.5 meters high, but due to its position on a bank, it appears taller. It features cock-and-hen coping. The gatepiers are square and made of semi-ashlar stone, topped with pyramid caps, and there are iron gates and railings.
