Details
WOOLASTON GENERAL ST 59 NE 10/254 Walls surrounding the churchyard to Church of St Andrew, with gates GV II Churchyard enclosing wall, with gates. Probably C19. Sandstone rubble to saddle- back coping of on-edge blocks, iron gates. A complete, roughly oval circuit with the Church of St Andrew (qv) set towards the west end, walls variable, but generally c 1.5 metres high. At the east end, pair of square piers c 620 mm square and 2.5 metres high, capped by low pyramid with roll mould, and pair of gates with spear- head railings and to their left, a pedestrian swing-gate in half-circle rail enclosure. On south side, opposite later cemetery, a similar small iron gate, and diametrically opposite, to the north, a small pedestrian swing gate in half-circle enclosure. At west end a round arched opening with small diagonally-planked door; here a path also drops down, and the encircling wall is up to c 2.50 metres high. The shape of circuit suggests the possibility of a Celtic site.
