Cadw's description
Location
At the entrance to the Churchyard of Penallt Old Church on the south side.
History
A lychgate and stile dating probably from early in the C20, but apparently not a memorial to WWI.
Exterior
These structures are built of sandstone conglomerate with a stone slate roof and oak gates to the lychgate. A simple design with bold rubble walls supporting a gabled oak roof. Plain double gates. To the right of the lychgate (from outside the churchyard) is a stile approached up three steps. The stile itself is a slab set upright between the gable wall of the gate and the rubble churchyard wall.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the Old Church.
