History
An C18 road bridge connecting Pentir to Caerhun and Y Felinheli.

The rubble spandrels are carried up as parapets, without differentiation, and capped with a flush slate coping. Large boulders used for the abutments. Buttressing walls added, probably in the C19, on the SE and SW sides.
Reason for designation
