Appraisal
Spanning the Argideen River, this handsome and substantial bridge is an imposing landmark in the surrounding landscape. High quality masonry can be seen particularly in the fine voussoirs and V-cutwaters. It continues to fulfil its original function and is an important architectural component of the village.
