Cadw's description
Location
A field bridge providing access from the Lane to the fields to the SE.
History
Accommodation bridge, c.1790-97.
Exterior
Dolerite rubble. High parapet with undressed copings forming a level top, splayed on plan, terminating in small pilasters. Segmental arch composed of three rings of half-bricks. The W parapet has been partially replaced with railings, and small areas of brick repairs.
Reason for designation
This is the most substantial bridge remaining over the New Cut, the artificial channel cut to divert the waters of the Guilsfield Brook to the River Severn avoiding damage to the Montgomeryshire Canal from floodwaters.
