Almost certainly built c1790 to connect Lord Penryhn's now demolished villa at Ogwen Bank, designed by Benjamin Wyatt, with Penrhyn Quarry. The Afon Ogwen here forms the boundary with Llanllechid community.
Roughly coursed rubblestone with slate slab coping and string course. Single wide segmental arch with voussoirs and arch-ring, coping slightly rising to centre; corner piers.
Included as a substantial late C18 bridge of a characteristic type, important for its historical connection with the now-demolished Gothick villa at Ogwen Bank.
