Stone Wall, Tintern

Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 17001g
Trust : Glamorgan Gwent
Community : Tintern
Unitary authority : Monmouthshire
NGR : SO53203 00157
Site Type (preferred type first) : MEDIEVAL WALL

Summary :
A medieval wall with stones that appear to be randomly sized, though all laid lengthwise and tightly bonded in lime mortar.

Description :
A wall with stones that appear to be randomly sized, though all laid lengthwise and tightly bonded in lime mortar. It is likely to be medieval in date, though the upper courses are seemingly later additions. The south-west face of the wall showed a marked outward batter towards its base compared to the flush north-eastern face. When excavated in 2017 (E005847), it was thought that the increase in width towards the base is likely to represent wider foundations rather than be indicative of an external face.

(Smith 2018).
