What is recorded here
Pont-Brown Clapper Bridge spans the Alun in Castle-Upon-Alun, its flat stones fitting together without mortar since the 18th Century. The bridge may have felt less like engineering and more like a game, each stone placed until weight and balance made the span hold. It is the kind of structure people walk across without thinking, trusting dead stone to carry living bodies. That trust is the remarkable part.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Pont-Brown Clapper Bridge, Castle-Upon-Alun as Clapper Bridge from the 18th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
