Cadw's description
Location
Situated at Felindre c50m from junction of lane with A40 Brecon road.
History
Road bridge over Nant Gwydderig, probably the bridge for which the contract was let out in 1825 by the magistrates, to be built to design of David Thomas, County Bridge Surveyor, by Samuel Griffiths of Llanfair ar y Bryn for £135/4/0d (£135.20).
Exterior
Road bridge, rubble stone, single arch with tooled grey stone voussoirs. Triple keystone on downstream side. Humped parapets with long limestone coping stones. Parapets are slightly built out over line of bridge, possibly a widening to edge of an existing string course.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-built road bridge probably of 1825.
