Description
Pont Faen is a bridge made of rubble stone with grey limestone dressings. It features a broad elliptical single arch supported by deep cut-stone stepped voussoirs. The spandrels are constructed from coursed squared stones that are stopped at raking abutments. Below the squared stone parapet, there is a corbelled rough slab string course, topped with cemented coping and square end piers.
