A remarkably stout bridge carries a narrow lane across the valley; someone has taken the opportunity of using the arch to store firewood. The reason for the construction of the bridge in 1908 was part of a scheme to replace the existing railway line between Letterston and Goodwick, the gradient of which was proving problematic. The cut-off, running beneath this bridge and south through Manorowen Wood, would have been easier but the work was never completed owing to the outbreak of WW1, and not required by post-war railway engines.
