The
ancient bridge has two arches and two prominent ‘cut-waters’
either side of the bridge surface, which provided passing places for
those crossing the bridge as well as giving strength to the
structure. The bridge is at least of 16th century date and may be
late medieval. A carved stone records its repair by John Jones in
1794.
Jervoise (1936) states: Pont Cothi at Abergorleech, which carries the road over the hills to Llanfynydd is by far the most interesting bridge over the Afon Cothi. The arches which are very distorted have single arch-rings on the downstream side but the other face appears to have been partly rebuilt. Two of the three arches are pointed and the total span is 29 yards.
