Capel Y Rhiw is a small chapel built from rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The building features two arched windows, which have stone voussoirs and heavy stone sills. The windows are fitted with small-paned sashes that have radiating-bar heads. To the right of the windows, there is a door with a single-stone lintel and a 20th-century door.
Inside, the chapel has a simple plastered interior that includes pews and desks made from a combination of cast iron and timber. There is also a small plain pulpit.
