Cadw's description
Location
Situated approximately 120m E of the junction of Cwm Chapel Road and the B5444.
History
Entrance gates, walls and railings to Capel Salem, Calvinistic Methodist chapel of 1903-5, by W W Williams of Swansea, who died during the construction, the work being completed by W David of Swansea. Presumably of the same date as the chapel.
Exterior
Chapel entrance gates, walls and railings. Two large gatepiers in rock-faced rubble stone with plinths and ashlar pyramidal Gothic caps with gablet on each face. Ornate double iron gates with scrollwork decoration. To each side is coursed sandstone retaining wall with ashlar chamfered coping carrying low railings to similar pattern to gates.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of ironwork of c1900 and for group value with the chapel.
