Description

The lych gate has dwarf rock-faced walls with freestone coping. The open timber-framed superstructure has a gabled slate roof on cambered, castellated tie beams. The lych gate was built over earlier freestone gate piers, which have wooden gates. On the churchyard side the stone walls have inscription tablets, of which the tablet on the E side records the date and that the lych gate was the gift of the people of Abbey Cwmhir in memory of Miss Mary Philips, benefactor of the church.

Attached dwarf walls are of rock-faced stone with freestone copings, and have intermediate and terminal piers, each bay infilled with iron railings incorporating round panels with X-shaped bars. There are 2 bays on the W side and 3 bays on the E side, with a single-bay return to the N to a footbridge.
