Description

This is a single-span footbridge made of coursed rock-faced stone, located on the southeast side of the Abbey Cwmhir churchyard. It features square terminal piers and a round arch with a prominent keystone. Beneath the coped parapet, there is a raised band, and on the south side, a shield is displayed. Iron gates are present on the churchyard side. On the southeast side of the bridge, there are three bays of iron railings set on rock-faced dwarf walls, which have intermediate square piers, similar to the southern churchyard wall. The wall extends to the east, where there is a small low round-headed niche with a drinking trough, inscribed with the year '1866', and freestone piers at the rear entrance to the Hall.
