Rectangular single-storey building with C20 board double doors at east end and small Gothick west window, no glazing. Hipped roof. Railing: wrought iron, approximately 80 centimetres wide and 1.5 metres high. Stone sill, rails with spearhead finials, ramped top edge. 2 panels with scrolls and roundels, at lock rail and top rail height. Gate pier: gritstone, approximately 2 metres high with rounded top. It is split (possibly broken) approximately 50 centimetres above ground level. The pier and railing are probably the remains of a gateway which closed the end of Vicarage Lane from the churchyard.
