Description

Pont Eunant is a tall semicircular bridge that spans a picturesque gorge, with a span of about 9 metres. It is constructed from rock-faced local slate masonry, featuring voussoirs that are approximately 600 mm in height. The keystone of the bridge slightly projects but does not extend below the intrados line. The parapet is supported by a corbel table and a quarter-round string course, and is made from smaller masonry.

The carriageway measures about 5 metres wide between the parapets, which are narrower than those on some other bridges and have a slight hump. The parapets end in small piers made of rock-faced masonry.
