What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge, built c. 1830, over River Araglin. Roughly dressed limestone walls with limestone string course and dressed sandstone voussoirs to segmental arches. Stepped V-cutwaters to east elevation. Weir to west. Rendered copings to parapet walls, latter terminating in square-profile piers with render caps.
Baker's Bridge is solidly constructed with roughly dressed limestone walls. The dressings are finely carved and provide a textural contrast with the rougher masonry. The cutwaters add further interest and are notable for their stepped profile. The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the mid-nineteenth century.
