Cadw's description
Location
Towards the N of the community, on the road leading due N out of the village, N of Manedy Farm.
History
Probably early C19. Does not appear to have been widened unlike almost all other road bridges in the area.
Exterior
Small rubble stone bridge over stream, with rubble approaches and dressed stone voussoirs. Almost entirely masked by vegetation. The road narrows to cross it and there is a notable hump.
Reason for designation
Listed as a small, unwidened and probably early C19 road bridge, very rare in this area.
