Cadw's description
Location
On the NE side of the churchyard of the Church of Saint Clydai.

Exterior
Lychgate, squared grey slate stone with slate gable coping. Broad segmental-pointed arch with stone voussoirs and double iron gates. Gates have dog-bars and curved top rails. Steps to slate stile to right of lychgate.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a prominent architectural feature which has group value with the parish church.
