History

A simple bridge built over a drainage ditch for the Tremadoc Tramway of c1845, which carried iron ore from nearby Llidiart Ysbytty to Porthmadog harbour. From the late 1850s it was incorporated into the slate-carrying Gorseddau horse-drawn tramway, which became locomotive powered in the 1870s and operated until the 1890s. It is now a footpath.

Exterior

Effectively a short culvert, the entrances of which have round arches with freestone voussoirs, but mainly concealed by vegetation.
