Cadw's description
Location
Situated on the E side of Ffrith at the point at which Cymau Road becomes a track, the bridge carries the road over the River Cedigog.
History
Said to be a packhorse bridge, probably of C18 date perhaps with earlier origins.
Exterior
Roughly squared and coursed rubble with a parapet of flat stones. The single-span bridge is skewed and is attached to a stone wall which runs along the N side of Cymau Road on the W side of the bridge, and to a stone wall running along the N side of the river on the E side. The SE side of the bridge terminates with a stone pier.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good example of a C18 skewed stone bridge.
Scheduled Ancient Monument No. F132.
