Cadw's description
Location
In a remote position in the mountains of Taf Fechan Forest, W of the main mountain road between Talybont and Pontsticill.
History
Early - mid C19, and although not on the main mountain route probably associated with those road improvements.
Exterior
Small single span mountain bridge over the Taf Fechan. Of partly coursed stone rubble; low parapet, defined by a rough stringcourse on the outer face, with stones set closely to form a rough saddleback coping. Unequal segmental river arch with narrow voussoirs; short splayed approaches.
Reason for designation
Included as one of a group of early - mid C19 bridges in the region.
