Description
Pant-y-Goitre Bridge, along with its approach embankments and flood arches, is a Grade II* listed structure built from carefully cut and squared red sandstone ashlar arranged in neat courses. The bridge features three segmental arches, with the central arch having a steeper shape due to the rise in the road, which is flat over this arch. An unusual feature of the bridge is that the voussoirs over each arch extend continuously to the parapet, though they are not single stones. Each arch has triple depressed keystones.
The piers are designed with cutwaters on both sides and include a large circular hole along with two smaller flanking holes in each pier, while the abutment has a single small hole. The abutments are also pierced by cattle-creeps, which are circular tunnels featuring neatly cut voussoirs and keyed heads. On the river side, these are flanked by a flat-faced pilaster, and on the land side, by a circular pilaster. The bridge has a continuous drip mould and a parapet with flat coping.
The approach includes a long embankment on the north side faced with rubble walling and a shorter embankment on the south side, both of which have flood arches.
