History

Early C19 bridge shown in its present form on the 1839 Llanfedw Tithe map. In detail it is similar to Michaelston Bridge.

Exterior

Rubble-stone, 2-span bridge in vernacular style, with segmental arches and arch rings, and plain abutments. The central pier has V-shaped cutwaters with a shallow offset near the base and rising the full-height of the parapet to define refuges. The low parapet has replaced copings and curves outwards on R bank.
