Description

Single-span stone road-over-river bridge, built c. 1850. Rubble limestone walling extending up from projecting base plinth to form parapet. Round-headed arch, roughly dressed limestone voussoirs. Extensive repairs in concrete to north parapet. Bitmac carriageway with narrow grass verges. Spans east-west over narrow stream.

Appraisal

This simple single-span bridge is almost hidden from view in its quiet rural setting. It exhibits in its construction the use of unsophisticated local materials and craftsmanship.
