Single-span limestone road-over-river bridge, built c. 1800. Squared and roughly coursed rubble stonework, dressed ashlar plain strings at impost and carriageway levels.

Appraisal
This competently executed bridge is well-detailed and exhibits good quality craftsmanship. To the west of the bridge are the ruins of a small church which add charm to its setting.
