Cadw's description
Location
Crossing the Nant Bran some 50m NE of Aberbran-fach Farm.
History
Field bridge from Aberbran Fach and mill, probably C18, steeply humped with cobbled surface to narrow roadway, a C18 type now very rare.
Exterior
Field bridge over the Nant Bran, rubble stone, single arch, steeply humped with thin crown and long thin stone voussoirs to arch. No parapet, just alternately higher and lower square coping stones. Narrow cobbled roadway.
Reason for designation
Included for its special historic interest as a rare example of a C18 steeply humped bridge for passage of animals across river.
