History

Probably early- mid C19 and probably associated with road improvements resulting from canal trade, this nearby stretch of the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal between Talybont and Brecon constructed c 1800. Other bridges of similar type occur along the mountain road and pass linking Talybont with the industrial valleys to the S.

Exterior

Bridge of snecked stone rubble with the flat slab coping. Segmental arched river bridge with rockfaced voussoirs, slightly splayed end pilasters to E and angled abutments, partly tiered. Incorporates stone stile with steps and stone piers NW.

Reasons for Listing
