Cadw's description
Location
Situated c200m W of the modern Pont y Pandy on the A470, carrying a minor road over the Afon Teigl, N of Ty Mari Williams.
History
Difficult to date, but probably C18, with the parapet altered in the C19.
Exterior
High but narrow single span bridge; rubble construction, with voussoirs to arch, and the probably later parapets formed from single slabs of slate on end and joined by iron ties.
Reason for designation
Listed as a distinctive vernacular bridge, particularly notable for the use of slate slabs to form parapets.
