Location
Situated on a minor road some 700m S of the Church of Saint Brynach in Henry's Moat.
History

N arch is deep recessed with stone voussoirs and semi-circular arch, S arch is not recessed, smaller and narrower and slightly pointed, also with stone voussoirs. On upstream side a a rough rounded cutwater between the arches, and C20 buttress each end. Stonework over arches is irregular, possibly much repaired, with rubble stone parapets and edge-on stone and slate copings. On bridge, against downstream parapet, a partially covered boundary stone reading 'Henrys Moat Boun..'.
Reason for designation
Included for its special historic interest as a small rural stone road bridge of vernacular character, possibly C18.
