Cadw's description
Location
Spanning the Afon Taf and carrying a minor road on the NE side of the hamlet.
History
Probably late C18 or early C19 and, with its pierced spandrels, typical of SW Wales bridges of the period.
Exterior
A single-span double-carriageway bridge of coursed rubble. A segmental arch has cut voussoirs, with similar detail to pierced roundels in the spandrels. The coped parapet is splayed out on the SW side. On the NE side is a long causeway of stepped rubble stone, partly rebuilt, incorporating a single segmental flood arch.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved road bridge in a vernacular style characteristic of the region.
