Ancient bridge over the Cleddau

Easily missed tiny arch constructed of huge stones. It carried what was once a raised causeway across the young river Cleddau Wen and its surrounding bog, later part of the pilgrim route to St David's although it is thought this bridge may date back to prehistoric times. "The bridge is of corbelled construction with 9 capstones, each measuring over 2 metres in length." (See 'Saints and Stones' by Damien Walford Davies and Anne Eastham, Gomer, 2002) The river is flowing from the right in the image, and joined by a stream from the left.
