Pontithel (partly in Gwernyfed community)

Pontithel is an 18th-century road bridge, which was widened on the north side in 1952, at which time the parapet was also raised. The bridge is constructed of rubble sandstone and features three segmental arches made of 45-centimeter radial split sandstone, spanning between two water piers. The central span is both wider and higher than the others. The piers are designed with triangular cutwaters made of sandstone ashlar, positioned below a central string course, and they rise to create refuges at road level. The parapet slightly oversails just above the arches and has flush copings. The widening on the north side added approximately 3 meters, an event marked by a plaque on the inner face of the north parapet. The eastern end of the bridge is located within the Gwernyfed Community area. This bridge is noted as an interesting example of infrastructure provided by the turnpike trust in the 18th century.
