Description
Triple-arch dressed limestone bridge, built c.1800, spanning Fealge River. Widened to west side with concrete fabric. Round-headed arches with dressed limestone voussoirs and soffits. Rubble limestone spandrels rising to parapets with solider coping to parapets.
Appraisal
This well-constructed bridge has retained much of its architectural form and fabric despite its recent widening to the west. Carefully designed and executed arches are testament to the skill of the stonemasons and builders involved in its construction. Neatly cut voussoirs provide textural contrast to the dressed rubble stone of the walls.
