Description
The Bridge is a 3-arched road bridge made of rubble stone, spanning the River Teifi. It features elliptical arches, with the center arch being higher and broader than the others, and full-height cutwaters on the east side. The cutwaters on the west side are covered due to a widening of the bridge. The west side also has string courses above the arches, which step over the center arch, and square piers that cover the former cutwaters. The bridge is finished with rubble stone parapets.
