Cadw's description
Location
Encloses 2 sides of a small forecourt in the front of Capel Seion.
Exterior
Part of the original layout and design of the chapel, which was built in 1895. Roughcast rendered wall along street front forms plinth with a series of piers between lengths of spear head cast iron railings. Gate piers to left, and terminal pier to right are also roughcast with pyramidal copings, and have recessed round-arched panels. Cast iron gates have roundels in lower section, and spear head finials to upper bars. Plain roughcast rendered wall with segmental copings returns to the left to the corner of the chapel.
Reason for designation
Group value with Capel Seion, and an important part of its context.
