Heritage listing
Reason for designation: A much-repaired local vernacular bridge probably of late date but contrasting with the more regular County bridges of the early C19. Exterior: A minor single-arch bridge of about 12 m span, of more than usually informal character; it is in quasi-rubble masonry throughout, with rough voussoirs and uncoursed common masonry. The bridge is of somewhat humped form, and built from a bluff of rock each side well above the stream level, at formerly fordable shallows. The carriageway is about 3 m wide between low parapet walls topped with rough crenellations. Location: Over the Afon Gam, a right tributary of the Afon Banwy, about 1km south of the village of Llangadfan.
