Description
A well built single arch bridge spanning the Afon y Foel. It carries a track which presumably gave access to the slate quarries above Cwm Penmachno, as well as providing a back route to Moel Marchyria farm. A causeway leads to the bridge at each side which is like the bridge, drystone built and similar in construction. Almost certainly 19th century in date. Dimensions: about 2.5m high above river, 1.75m wide, arch 3.5m long. 200m above O.D.
