Cadw's description
Location
Located at the entrance to the churchyard and c. 25m ESE of the church of St. Cyngar.
History
Dated 1890, the year following the erection of the chancel to the church of St. Cyngar.
Exterior
Perpendicular style gateway built of rock-faced limestone masonry, set within the rubble churchyard wall. A double gateway is set into a wide, elliptical-headed arch of 3 orders with hoodmould. There is a datestone centred over the arch, inscribed A. D. 1890; the gabled roof is stepped up over the datestone and is surmounted by a plain masonry cross. Flanking the arch are slightly offset angle buttresses; the arch itself is hung with simple, cast-iron gates, with tall and short alternating vertical rails.
Reason for designation
Included as a striking example of a church gateway, bold in design and construction, and which forms a group with the adjacent church of St. Cyngar.
