Heritage listing
Reason for designation: Listed as a pre-industrial bridge, one of a few surviving in this area. History: Probably C18. The route itself could be much earlier, linking the medieval hilltop communities and churches of Bedwellty and Mynyddislwyn. Exterior: A single arch slightly hump-backed bridge spanning the Sirhowy River. Of narrow coursed rubble with deep even dressed stone voussoirs with a protruding keystone; only one probably original flat coping stone survives at NE, the rest remoulded in concrete. Splayed approaches, repaired; an offset in NE abutment. The high point of the bridge is not centred over the river arch. Location: At the foot of Rhiw Syr Dafydd Hill, an exceptionally steep road crossing the Sirhowy valley and linking Penmaen and Oakdale, with Blackwood and Bedwellty.
From Cadw under OGL v3.
