Churchyard steps and associated wall; dated 1702 with churchwardens' initials.
Flight of thirteen sandstone steps with rubble parapets and slab-coping. At the bottom front face of the L parapet are the incised date 1702 and the letters: 'IE RI (?) IO (?) RLL WARDEN(S)'. The copings to the right-hand parapet are slightly moulded; those to the L have 3 metal spikes. At the top of the flight is a plain stone stile flanked by small square piers (heightened in rendered brick) with fragmentary moulded finials, that to the L broken off and that to the R reconstructed. Adjoining this to the NW is a short section of contemporary curved revetment wall with sandstone capping. This slopes down into the grassed bank to the L; rectangular outlet to R. Adjoining the steps to the R a similar, contemporary stretch of wall continues in an arc to the SE for some 50m before terminating in a stone stile, probably also contemporary. This has 3 steps up to it and small C19 square sandstone piers with pyramidal capping stones.
Included as an early surviving example of churchyard steps and for group value with other listed items at the Church of St Cyngar.
