Cadw's description
Location
Located 300m S of the main crossroads in Tregeiriog, and carrying the lane to Rhiwlas over the River Ceiriog.
History
Probably C18. One of several bridges of this period which cross the River Ceiriog.
Exterior
Single-span bridge of rubble stone with humped deck. Large segmental-pointed arch of narrow stone voussoirs with dripstone. String course to rubble stone parapets with flat stone copings. Abutments splay out and finish with rectangular end piers at the same level as the parapets. The bridge curves slightly, following the course of the road which crosses the river at an angle.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine C18 bridge of one large span, retaining its character and detail.
