Summary edit

Description
English: Wallwork Part of the mixed earth/stone bank enclosing the green lane between Blaenant and Llandyfriog, beautifully constructed and of considerable age.

D.Parry Jones, writing about this area in The Carmarthenshire Historian in 1967, mentioned this type of hedge as a speciality of the area:

"In this type of hedge, the stones are set on end — not laid flat on as in other wall-building. It facilitates the introduction of patterns, the most popular of which is the herring-bone. Sometimes a line of regular uprights separates the herring-bone patterns. They were not built plumb—straight up from the bottom — but curved in slightly, like the back of a scythe — according to the old masters. The last foot consisted of clods and soil to take the quick usually planted on top of them."
