Kidwelly Bridge over the Gwendraeth Fach

Kidwelly Bridge over the Gwendraeth Fach.
Jervoise (1936) states that: The bridge that crosses the Gwendraeth Fach at Kidwelly is now nearly 30 feet in width, but contains part of an ancient structure. . . . it is difficult to see the ancient part of the bridge except at river level.  C.A.R. Radford, in his paper on Kidwelly Castle read before the Socity of Antiquities in April 1933, suggested that the structure dated from the end of the 15th century. . . . Henry Gastineau, in Wales Illustrated, showed a bridge with one pointed and one semicircular arch.
