Built, according to an inscription on the W gable, in 1698 for Mrs A M E Jones of Parciau. Some C19 restoration.
The gate is set in the churchyard wall. It is built of rubble stonework with a slate roof between coped gables on kneelers. Five external rounded steps raise the path to the through passage, closed externally by boarded timber gates with strap hinges set in an outer rebate, the gateposts rising to a high cross transom and inserted plank arch. Within the passage, timber seats each side. On the SW gable end, a slate carrying an heraldic displayed eagle on a lozenge, and the inscription MRS A M E JONES / O'R PARKIAU A RODD / YR ADEILAD HON / 1698 / PAM OEDD / H JONES RECTOR / W WYNE ESQ R IOHN WADENIED.
Included as a good example of a rural lychgate, for which the date of construction is known.
