Former Tramroad Bridge (partly in Pontllanfraith Community)

The Former Tramroad Bridge is a narrow but deep angled bridge that once carried a tramroad and later a railway across a narrow lane. It is constructed of rubble stone, featuring roughly dressed voussoirs, quoins, and a keystone, with areas of rockfaced stone where it has been rebuilt, along with some blue brick repairs. The east-facing side, which slopes uphill, has putlog or drainage holes. A near right-angled sloping abutment is built against the arch's voussoirs, while the wall to the left acts as a revetment to the steep bank and is much wider. Both sides have close-set rubble coping, a shallow offset at the base and above the narrow arch, and a projecting coping that supports the later parapet made of rockfaced stone. The west-facing side is asymmetrical as well, with a wide curving revetment to the left, a narrow offset at the impost level, and a slanting abutment with a brick buttress to the right. Each side features moulded brick coping. The parapet is not centrally aligned over the tunnel arch. Additionally, there is a break in the vault, with the final uphill fifth section at a higher level, likely to accommodate the rising ground.
