Description
Pont Farrog is a low segmental single arch bridge built with a span of about 8 metres. It features rusticated sandstone voussoirs, including a tall keystone that hangs from a sandstone string course. The common masonry is made of axe-dressed slate, and the bridge is similarly dressed on both sides.
The road that crosses the bridge is approximately 8 metres wide and has low parapets with flat copings. The parapets are slightly turned out at the ends.
