Adeiladwyd Pont Treseli yn ystod y 18g hwyr neu'r 19g gynnar dros Afon Cych. Mae'r afon yn pennu ffin Sir Benfro a Sir Gaerfyrddin. Yn y lleoliad hwn yn ystod y 1950au y lladdwyd llygoden fawr enfawr gan dafarnwr y Nags Head gerllaw. Darganfuwyd taw coypu ydoedd ond dirgelwch llwyr oedd sut y daeth hi i fod yn yr ardal. Cafodd y greadur ei stwffio a chael ei harddangos yn y tafarn ac yno y mae hi wedi bod ers hynny. Pont Treseli dates from the late 18th or early 19th century and spans Afon Cych. The river acts also as the boundary between Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. During the 1950s a huge rat was killed at this location by the publican of the adjacent Nags Head. The rodent was later identified as a coypu but how it came to be in the area was a complete mystery. The animal was stuffed and put on display in the pub where it remains to this day.
