Cadw's description
Location
Carries the Capel-y-ffin road over the Afon Honddu about 400m west of Llanthony Priory.
History
An early C19 bridge very similar to Bugle Bridge and Pen-y-bont Bridge lower down the Afon Honddu, the latter of which was rebuilt in 1827. Such a bridge will have had repairs and rebuildings but the early C19 form remains the same.
Exterior
Red/grey sandstone rubble with dressed voussoirs. Single arch bridge with coped parapet walls and splayed abutments. Metal pipe attached on the downstream side.
Reason for designation
Included as a well preserved bridge dating from the early C19.
