The parapets were later rebuilt. Exterior: A 2-span road bridge of coursed rock-faced stone. The main spans have segmental freestone arches with prominent keystones. The central pier has stepped, pointed freestone cutwaters. On each bank are full-height pilaster strips flanking circular flood apertures A raised band is below the random rock-faced stone parapet with coping. Location: Spanning the River Ithon approximately 1km S of Newbridge-on-Wye.
