Description

A wall of roughly piled-up, uncut dry stone closing off space 54B to the south-east of the church (ST 54A), this wall is set in the bedrock and rises about 0.80m. This north-south oriented elevation comes to rest to the north against the church wall (EA4) and is in line with EA 3. It is contemporary with wall EA11 with which it forms a right-angled return.
