Road bridge over the Afon Rheidol, probably later C18. A new bridge to the S was built when the new turnpike road to Llangurig was built in 1812, this demolished and rebuilt in C20. The old bridge has been attributed to the famous bridge builder William Edwards of Pontypool (1719-89) without evidence. Its narrow humped profile makes it one of the most distinctive bridges of the county.
