Description
Pont-y-Garreg Fachan is a 3-arched rubble bridge featuring a flat roadway. It has segmental arches made with voussoirs. The northern side, which is the upstream side, includes pointed cutwaters. On this side, the parapet has a short return to the eastern side and a buttress on the western side. The description ends at this point. On the downstream side, the parapet gradually diminishes at both the western and eastern ends.
