History

Built in 1817 for the Brynkir Estate to provide dry access to the Hall in times of flood.

Exterior

A 8.2m wide segmental span of flush rubble voussoirs rising 2.05m above the water, with a secondary half-round flood arch on the S side. Flush spandrels and parapets finished with rough block copings. The parapets splay out at the ends to terminal half-piers with monolithic capstones. The carriageway is 3.4m wide between the 0.5m parapets.
