Cadw's description
Location
Road bridge carrying the B5382, and spanning the Afon Deunant, at the centre of the hamlet of Bryn Rhydyrarian.
History
Built in 1797, at a cost of £130; by David Lewis, stone mason, and John Jones, joiner. The stone was to be quarried from the land of Philip Yorke Esq, or from the quarry on the land of the Glanywirn Family.
Exterior
Roadbridge, built of local rubble masonry; a single wide segmental span over the river, the stonework of the arch slightly recessed from main wall of the bridge. The walls of the parapets stand to a height of c.1m above the road level, and have plain copings.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a late C18 roadbridge.
