Description
Pont y Cwrt carries the road to Llanegrin over the Afon Dysynni at the north end of Abergynolwyn. It is probably the bridge referred to as Abergynolwyn Bridge in the county records for the early 19th Century. The bridge is made of stone rubble. CADW describes it as a 'single well-formed segmental arch of shaped voussoirs, springing from slightly outset springers at water level, and rising to a height of c2.2m at the centre above the water to a dropped central keystone. The arch spans 6.7m. Flush spandrels and a square string course at the base of the parapet. The parapet is built of squared rubble in unusually long pieces and is capped with rough-hewn slate slabs. The parapet drops from N to S. Wide battered abutments. The carriageway is 4.45m wide and the parapets each of 55cm.'
It is Grade II listed because it is 'a fine and well constructed road bridge of significant span, and part of the townscape of Abergynolwyn village.'
