Cadw's description
Location
Situated at N end of Church Street.
History
Road bridge over the River Bran, probably early C19, built before 1833. The treatment of the cutwaters is very similar to that on Pont ar Towy (q.v.) of 1819, said to have been designed by William Harries.
Exterior
Bridge, rubble stone, three-arch with cut grey stone voussoirs, small stones in spandrels and triangular cutwaters with stepped triangular tops. Centre arch is broad, outer arches narrow. Plain parapets with stone copings, raised piers each end.
Reason for designation
Included as an architecturally-designed three-arch stone road bridge, of unusual quality.
