Rubble stone to abutments, tooled limestone buttresses, copings and other dressings, freestone (possibly sandstone) rusticated voussoirs to arch and to facing above with incised channelling, also channelled stonework to arch underside. Large flanking buttress piers rise through parapet. Similar buttress piers flank a segment-headed flood arch through the S abutment and also occur singly on the Ffairfach abutment. Main arch has bull-nosed broad stringcourse under rounded grey limestone parapet, elsewhere the stringcourse is plain and the parapet of rubble with limestone ridged coping. The piers have pyramidal caps in tooled limestone, the piers to the centre arch are broader and with rebated angles. String course is broken forward over piers.

On the E parapet is inscribed 'Erected 1848'. On the W the blank panel is said to have had the name of Haycock as architect, erased by local demand.
