Appraisal
A robust stone bridge that is characteristic of the many small-scale bridges built in the nineteenth century throughout the country as part of the expansion of the road network. The bridge exhibits quality craftsmanship in the solid rubble stone construction with cut stone voussoirs. It is part of the county's civil engineering heritage.
