Cadw's description
Location
The bridge is on the road from Golan to Brynkir, N of Pandy Clenennau.
History
Built in 1817 for the Brynkir Estate to provide dry access to the Hall in times of flood.
Exterior
The bridge is built in local uncoursed rubble stone spanning a tributary of the Afon Dwyfor. A 8.2m wide segmental span of flush rubble voussoirs rising 2.05m above the water, with a secondary half-round flood arch on the S side. Flush spandrels and parapets finished with rough block copings. The parapets splay out at the ends to terminal half-piers with monolithic capstones. The carriageway is 3.4m wide between the 0.5m parapets.
Reason for designation
Included as a handsome and dated example of an early C19 road bridge.
