Description

Ynysmeudwy Isaf Overbridge is a canal overbridge dating from the 19th century. It features a single arch made of rubble stone with a segmental arch constructed from tooled cut stone voussoirs. The abutments curve out slightly on each side, leading to square end piers. The parapets are made of large rubble stone slabs, although some on the southwest side have been removed and replaced with cement coping. Additionally, the southwest parapet and northeast pier on the towpath side have been repaired using red brick.
