Cadw's description
Location
The bridge carries the minor road between Pandy Tudur and Llansannan over the Afon Cledwen, approximately 3.5km E of Pandy Tudur.
History
Probably built c1770.
Exterior
Road bridge, gently cambered, built of local shale rubble with single wide semi-elliptical arch of thin rubble slabs springing from ground level with a projecting regulating course. Spandrels rise uninterrupted to parapets with oversailing copings. The parapets curve outward at each end.
Reason for designation
Included as an example of a largely unaltered country bridge of a type erected in connection with improvements in rural communications in the late C18 and early C19.
