Description

The lychgate, mounting block, adjoining stile, steps, and the retaining wall to the east-southeast of the Church of St David were likely built in the late 19th century. They are constructed from dressed slate and feature slate coping and treads on the steps. The lychgate has a slate roof with coped gable ends.

The lychgate is positioned to the right (north) and has a flight of steps in front of it. To the left of these steps is a mounting block, with a stile set back to the left and another flight of steps in front. The curved churchyard retaining wall, which is located to the left (north), has railings above it. The lychgate is open between its gable end walls, which have coping and kneelers, and the roof is supported by chamfered timber bressumers.

From the road below, a wide flight of steps leads up into the lychgate, which contains a slate coffin rest and two wooden gates. To the left of the lychgate, the stile is made from a large vertical slate, with a flight of slate steps in front of it. Between the two flights of steps is a large mounting block with a slate platform. To the left of the stile, the curved churchyard retaining wall has iron railings above. To the right of the lychgate, there is a ramp leading up to the churchyard.
