Cadw's description
Location
Carries the minor road from Llidiart y Parc to Carrog over the River Dee.
History
Probably late C17 (a stone built into the parapet is dated 1661).
Exterior
A 5-arched span (including 2 flood-arches) of roughly coursed slate rubble, rougher to parapet, which is carried on the projecting hood-mould above each of the voussoir arches. Cut-waters between the principal arches are taken up into the parapet.
Reason for designation
An exceptionally good example of a late C17 masonry bridge, and one of a series of similar early bridges crossing the Rivers Dee and Alwen.
Scheduled Ancient Monument, Ref. Me 29.
