Dated 1911, this ornate stone and timber lych-gate is situated in the south-west corner of the churchyard of St Ellyw's Church (NPRN 12684). The lych gate is Grade II listed, and has a steep, bell-cast, hipped, plain-tiled roof with a lead ridge and a wooden cross finial. It has battered base walls to each side, constructed of rock-faced rubble with red sandstone ashlar quoins and coping. The walls return inwards at each end to frame stone benches within. The north side has a carved stone plaque with the inscription 'This lych-gate was erected to commemorate the rebuilding of the parish church by Arthur D Davies 1911'. On the west front are paired timber gates.

The upper part is of very ornate timber-framing with intricate tracery to the heads of open panels and to the front spandrels. The main entry has arched braces and traceried spandrel panels. Upright posts carry carved brackets to support the undersides of the rafters, and the bell-cast roof has an ornately carved dormer gable, with bargeboards and a traceried, pierced, 3-light triangular opening to the west front.

The roof has carved angel heads in the angles under the curved brackets, which support a false ridge with diagonally set king posts up to the true ridge above. There is tracery in the spandrel spaces and between the ridges.
