Cadw's description
Location
Situated in front of narrow forecourt to chapel.
History
Railings and gates to narrow forecourt, probably mid to later C19. The chapel was built in 1829 altered in 1849 and in 1870s.
Exterior
Railings to stone flagged forecourt on low rock-faced coping stones. Railings have bottom and top rails and lance heads, larger to stanchions which have scrolled supports. Two gateways with matching gates with dog-bars between panelled cast-iron piers with coved corniced caps.
Reason for designation
Included as good C19 ironwork, of group value with the chapel.
