Cadw's description
Location
Approximately 700m SSW of Cwmdu church and crossing the Rhiangoll brook on a minor road between Felindre and A479.
History
Erected c1700 and smaller but similar in style to nearby Llangynidr and Crickhowell bridges.
Exterior
Narrow single-carriageway road bridge of rubble stone, with 2 arches, V-shaped cutwaters and slightly ramped deck. The arches are segmental with thin voussoirs. The cutwaters rise the full height of the parapet and define refuges. The low parapet is partly repaired, but has flat coping slabs on N (upstream) side and curves outwards at the ends.
Reason for designation
A fine example of an early stone bridge.
