Cadw's description
Location
Spanning the Afon Clywedog in the village centre, close to the school.
History
Village road bridge, in its present form probably early C19, though occupying an early bridging site.
Exterior
Single-span road bridge constructed of squared, rough-dressed limestone blocks; approximately 15m long. Segmental arch with projecting voussoirs and large keystone. Flat carriageway with rubble parapets, splayed at the approaches and terminating on both up- and down-stream sides in square piers; squared limestone copings. Between the arch and the parapet on both sides is a plain projecting string-course, returned onto the piers.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as an early C19 village bridge retaining good character.
