Built between 1846 and 1861 when the estate was owned by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company.

Coursed rubble with freestone dressings. Small Gothic bridge with crenellated and corbelled parapet over chamfered pointed arch with plain coat of arms. Flanked by polygonal turrets with ramped bases, freestone caps and timber finials; brick vaulted underside. Modern boarding above parapet but probably contemporary crenellated boarding to either end where the walls of the viaduct gently sweep forward and are ramped down to abutt the ends of the screen walls at the entrance. This is repeated to the other side where the walls terminate in tapered polygonal piers.
Interior
Reason for designation
Group value with the Gate piers, gates and attached walls at Y Glyn.
