History

Late 18th century to 19th century. Probably follows the course of the medieval town wall which was demolished in C18. New garden walls have been built closer to the houses, and the listed wall now defines car park.

Exterior

Wall of stone similar to wall to rear of Morgannwg House. Roughly embattled and stone slab capping. Doorway with cambered head to rear of No.3, doorway with flat head and buttresses to No.4.

Reasons for Listing

Included as part of the group of stone rear walls of the important group of houses in Glamorgan Street. The rear walls as a group form an important feature on Captain's walk and may define the line of the medieval town walls of Brecon.
