Description
The bridge over the Afon Ewenni is a skewed single-span structure dating from the 18th century. It features a slightly hump-backed deck and a low segmental arch made of narrow voussoirs and a keystone. The bridge is constructed from roughly coursed flat masonry blocks. The parapets have chamfered copings, although part of the eastern parapet has been rebuilt in concrete. Due to the skewed design, the northwest angle of the bridge is obtuse and is supported by a diaphragm arch made of voussoirs, with corbelled masonry beneath, which may be a later addition. On the northwest side of the deck, there is a vertical stone block intended to prevent carts from hitting the parapet. The walls extend from the parapets along the riverside.
