As far as I can make out, it records that "This bridge was erected at the expence (ie expense) of the County by Thos Richard Mafon (ie Mason) Llandeilog 1783" - which is close to the date and builder mentioned in the Grade II listing details https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300082287-pont-antwn-llangyndeyrn#.WUbOf9QrLGg which record the date of 1785 and a name of Thomas Richards. The original bridge lies below the modern one, and is quite hard to photograph without trespassing into fields to the west
