An asymmetrical composition of double gates with single gate on its R side, framed by 3 square limestone ashlar piers.

The cast iron gates have fretwork decoration. The double gates have panelled wreaths inscribed 'In Glorious Memory of those who fell in the Great War 1914-18', and the single gate has an added elliptical plaque commemorating Glyndwr Michael (1909-43). On the L side is a dwarf ashlar wall with coping and railings that abuts a garden wall (of Bedwellty Nursing Home) to the L.
