Cadw's description

Towards the N of the community, on the road leading due N out of the village, N of Manedy Farm.

Probably early C19. Does not appear to have been widened unlike almost all other road bridges in the area.

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.

Listed as a small, unwidened and probably early C19 road bridge, very rare in this area.
