Description

Pont Rhiwargor is a vernacular bridge built from local slate masonry. It features a single low-rise segmental arch with a span of approximately 10 meters. The arch is constructed from rough stonework, with each voussoir measuring about 400 millimeters in height. Above the arch, there is roughly axe-dressed masonry, which includes the parapets, and a square string course runs along the base of the parapets.

The carriageway measures about 4 meters in width between the parapets and has a slightly humped profile. The parapets widen at all four corners, with three of them ending in small piers.

Local climate

Pont Rhiwargor sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,120 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 55 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
