Cadw's description
Location
Located in the centre of Commins Coch. The river is at an angle to the road, and the bridge is on a sharp bend.
History
Probably late C18-early C19.
Exterior
Single-span bridge of roughly-coursed stone; large segmental arch of narrow stone voussoirs flush with spandrels. String course to parapets, the tops of which are rebuilt and have rock-faced capstones laid on edge. The parapets are slightly arched, although the deck is flat. The ends of the bridge are splayed out with square end piers at same height as parapets. Boundary walls continue from piers, except to SW.
Reason for designation
Listed as a prominent road bridge retaining its early character.
