Description
The lych gate at Abbey Cwmhir churchyard features dwarf rock-faced walls topped with freestone coping. Its open timber-framed structure is covered by a gabled slate roof supported by cambered, castellated tie beams. The lych gate was constructed over earlier freestone gate piers, which include wooden gates. On the churchyard side, the stone walls display inscription tablets, with the eastern tablet noting that the lych gate was a gift from the people of Abbey Cwmhir in memory of Miss Mary Philips, a benefactor of the church.
The attached dwarf walls are made of rock-faced stone with freestone copings and include intermediate and terminal piers. Each bay is filled with iron railings that feature round panels with X-shaped bars. There are two bays on the western side and three bays on the eastern side, with a single-bay return to the north leading to a footbridge.
