Cadw's description
Location
The bridge is located at a sharp bend where the road from Llanbrynmair to Staylittle crosses the Afon Creignant.
Exterior
Probably late C18 or early C19. Rockfaced local stone. A semi-circular arch rising from raised vertical abutments, with a projecting keystone rising to a string at the base of the flush parapet. The parapet is widely splayed on plan. Two iron plated tie bars have been inserted through the spandrels.
Reason for designation
Included as a largely unaltered bridge built during improvements to rural accessibility in the late C18 or early C19.
