Architecture
The new bridge was completed in 1849 by Thomas Penson of Oswestry or his son Richard Penson. also known as the Fishguard to Bangor Trunk Road in West and North Wales. A short section with an arch for leat overflow carries the date 1912. The bridge was listed Grade II on 23 May 1996, and it is described as "Pont Aberarth and attached abutment walls".
