The bridge dates to the early 19th century and contains a single-span of ashlar stone. The segmental arch has voussoirs and a keystone projecting into string course. The bridge's parapets are swept widely at either end to allow for waiting traffic, as the bridge is a single-laned bridge.
A long-distance waymarked footpath lies to its immediate north along the river. The bridge is listed by Cadw.
