Cadw's description
Location
Situated across Afon Teifi between Llechryd and Castell Malgwyn lodge.
Exterior
C17 road bridge over the Teifi. Rubble stone five-arch main bridge with cutwaters, four each side carried up as pedestrian refuges, and one at each end not carried up full-height. Rubble stone parapets. Segmental arches with roughly squared voussoirs. Bridge has further two small arches to S as flood arches, altered to one single arch on E side by early C19 widening. [Old photographs show two smaller arches to N, now concealed.] Rubble stone walls continue up to A484 with breaks for floodwater.
The bridge is said to have a plaque on E side cutwater (not found) with eroded raised numerals read as 1655, but as 1656 and 1638 by other authors.
Reason for designation
