Cadw's description
Location
Situated on W side of churchyard in the centre of Ystradfellte.
History
Lychgate, probably C19 repaired and partly rebuilt in late C20 and attached C19 iron railings with pedestrian gate.
Exterior
Lychgate, purple rubble stone with slate roof and C20 bargeboards to shallow-pitched roof. Gateway with stone voussoirs to flattened arch each side, arches rebuilt. Double iron gates with spearhead rails and dog-bars. Attached to left is low wall of squared purple stone blocks with stone coping and spearhead railings broken for matching pedestrian kissing-gate.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a good example of a stone lychgate combined with local ironwork and for group value with the Church of Saint Mary.
