Cadw's description
Location
Approximately 0.9km S of Llangenny church and crossing the Grwyne river on a minor road on W side of minor road from Llangenny to Glangrwyne.
Exterior
Late C18, single-carriageway bridge of rubble stone ramped to centre. Abutments curve out at ends, and continue on SE side as revetment of road. A segmental arch has tooled voussoirs. Above the arch is a thin projecting band, while low parapet has flat coping stones (partly replaced).
Reason for designation
A good example of an early road bridge, one of a group of fine stone bridges crossing the Grwyne rivers.
