Devil's Bridge / Pont ar Fynach

Three superimposed bridges, the lowest of rubble stone, narrow with obtusely pointed single arch, and stone voussoirs, probably refaced in C18. Flat coping. Arch is set under arch of second bridge of 1753, built closely above. This is of rubble stone with single segmental arch made of courses of large squared stones, the ends forming large stone voussoirs. Arch ring. Deep masonry above. Parapet removed 1814 for cast-iron parapet with cast-iron scrolled supports from crude stone corbels. Supports end in pierced roundels. Parapet is made up of ten joined cast-iron panels each side (some missing on upstream side), each panel pierced with 4 pointed arches with 4 roundels over (matching those on supports), the roundels encircle a concave-sided lozenge. Massive raking abutments each side of stone arch rising from rock below and to each side of the original bridge. Raking abutments altered and enlarged to carry the 1901 bridge just above. This now has flat concrete C20 roadway on steel corrugated decking carried on two steel deep I-beams, pierced for lightness. These replace 1901 iron or steel girders. Original 1901 railings are reset: simple lattice of flat iron strips. Stone piers each end. On rubble wall to SW plaque: 'Adeiladwyd gan Cyngor Siriol Ceredigion 1901. Gorchwylwr R. Lloyd'.
