Location

The bridge was built in the late 18th or early 19th century from rubble stone and the parapets have slate coping. It has perforated spandrels similar to, and probably derived from, Cenarth Bridge;[2] these function during peak river flow to reduce stress on the bridge structure. The roadway is 18 feet (5.5 m) wide.[3]
