History
The Neath Canal was begun in 1791 and opened in 1794. Traffic ceased in 1921. The bridge is probably an original feature of the canal and was built to provide access to the land around Ynys Nedd Farm.
Exterior
A single-span bridge of coursed rubble and segmental arch with dressed voussoirs. The abutments and parapet curve out the ends. The parapet on E side has replaced cement copings. The parapet on W side (partly collapsed at the time of inspection) is replaced with concrete walls flanking a steel rail. The surface of the deck is replaced with a hardcore of stones and is ramped at N end.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed for its industrial archaeological interest as a built feature of the Neath Canal and for group value with other canal structures.
