Cadw's description
Location
At the High Street entrance to the churchyard of the Church of St Cadoc and opposite The Endowed School.
History
A memorial to the fallen of WWI by W D Caroe, erected in 1919.
Exterior
The structure is built of snecked limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof, wrought iron gates and railings. The gateway is a flattened arch with strip buttresses to the piers on both outer and inner faces. Gabled roof with bell-cast and central pole finial. This is flanked by dwarf stone walls capped by spike railings and terminates with panelled piers with stepped cornice and finial.
Reason for designation
Included as an attractive lych-gate designed by W.D Caroe, which is a memorial to WWI and has strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in Caerleon centre.
