Description
Bridge over the Taf between Whitland and Trevaughan. Probaby originally built in the mid eighteenth century the bridge was widened on the north side in 1856 and on the south side in 1878. Both extensions were in keeping with the original work. The bridge, close to the south-west corner of St Mary's (NPRN 105014) churchyard, was replaced by the present road bridge after 1981, when the B4328 was diverted to some 30m further west. The section of former B4328 is now a no-through-road, terminating immediately after the Trevaughan Bridge, on its west side. Its western embanked approach was removed to prevent flooding, giving the bridge a curiously unbalanced aspect.

The bridge is a grade II listed building. It has three segmental arches separated by cutwaters. The centre arch is rather wider and flatter. The bridge is built of stone rubble with cut stone vousoirs to the arches. The original arches are visible from below and these have similar cut stone vousoirs.
