Pont Scethin 3
Tuesday the 18th of June. My first full day, and a walk from Tal-y-Bont (Between Barmouth and Harlech) up the Afon Ysgethin to the mid 18th century bridge, Pont Scethin. Back via the track to Cors-y-Gedol, then via the ruined cromlech, back down the Ysgethin gorge. The moorland up towards the old bridge is absolutely waterlogged! This is the upstream, eastern side of the bridge. This is sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds and has a much greater growth of ferns.

Pont Scethin
A Scheduled Monument in Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd A stone bridge over the Afon Ysgethin, now seeming to be in the middle of nowhere but on what was once an important drovers' route. The single arch is relatively high, flooding of the river was presumably the main reason for building the bridge - it would be possible to cross the river when in normal flow almost without getting one's feet wet), and there are low parapets (c. 0.5 m) built of stone which could equally well be described as thick slabs or elongated blocks. These are large and would have been quite difficult to manoeuvre and transport. The footway between them is just under 2 m wide at the narrowest point, and has been roughly concreted in the past. The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of post-medieval transport techniques. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits.
