Tagged with: Bridge Packhorse bridge
Late C17 to early C18 packhorse bridge over the Afon Honddu, a single arch without parapets, one of the last surviving in the area (another at Aberbran Fach, Yscir / Trallong communities). The roadway is higher and undulating to sides, probably from wheeled traffic rather than indicating lost parapets.
Packhorse bridge, humped single arch without parapets. Segmental arch with thin stone voussoirs, the crown of the arch with just thin coping stones over, some rubble stone in spandrels. Cobbled roadway, higher and undulating to sides. Eroded abutments on upstream side together with resulting movement in soffit.
Included for special historic interest as a rare surviving packhorse bridge.
