Description
Two-arch rubble stone road bridge over mill race, c.1800. Random rubble stone walls with cut-stone triangular cut-water to pier, and squared rubble stone coping to parapets.

Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale bridge forming part of the civil engineering heritage of Thomastown. The traditional construction in unrefined rubble stone serves to assimilate the bridge pleasantly into the surrounding landscape.
