Cadw's description
Location
About 1km south of Llanthony carrying the valley road over the Afon Honddu.
History
The bridge is of the same design as Pen-y-bont Bridge at Llanvihangel Crucorney (qv) which was built by the County Surveyor of Monmouth in 1827, and it is probably closely contemporary with that.
Exterior
Red sandstone rubble with some dressed stones and a carefully built arch. Single arch bridge with shallow segmental arch. Dressed voussoirs, drip (on upstream side only) and parapet, the rest is rubble. The spandrels are laid randomly, the parapet is thin coursed. Splayed abutments.
Reason for designation
Included as an unaltered example of an early C19 County Bridge.
