There are traces of an earlier, sub-circular raised enclosure at Llanfyllin which was extended southwards with newly consecrated ground in 1842, 1863, 1877 and 1892, creating a more rectilinear enclosure. The current churchyard is very well maintained.
Boundaries: stone revetment walls form the boundaries on the north-west, north-east and south-west sides. The south-east side is not so steep around the perimeter because of the later extensions.
Monuments: there are few remaining marked graves. Slate slabs lean against the south boundary wall, and a single 19thC chest tomb remains close to the south-west corner of the church, two more on the west side of the vestry.
No pre-19thC grave markers were observed. Considerable work was undertaken in 1965 on the enclosed churchyard including the removal of broken headstones, laying flat and re-siting some stones, and the removal of some kerbstones and iron rails around some graves. In 1972, the churchyard was nearly cleared of memorials. Burials now take place in the community graveyard.
