Boverton Place is a medieval house situated in Wales and protected by Cadw as a scheduled monument under reference GM422. The building occupies land underlain by rocks of the Lias Group, a sequence of mudstones, siltstones, limestones and sandstones that formed during the Aalenian period of the Jurassic era. These varied sedimentary strata would have influenced both the local landscape and the availability of stone for construction during the medieval period.
As a domestic structure, Boverton Place represents the domestic architecture of medieval Wales. The site's geology and location have shaped its character and survival. The Lias Group bedrock, with its bands of usable stone including limestone and sandstone, would have provided accessible building materials for the original construction and subsequent modifications to the structure.
The monument's protection reflects its significance to Welsh medieval heritage. Cadw's scheduling recognises the importance of such domestic sites in understanding the settlement patterns, architectural traditions and everyday life of medieval Welsh communities. Boverton Place contributes to the archaeological and historical record of domestic building practices in its region during the medieval period.
