Five semicircular arches, rising gently towards centre (central arch span c. 5.6m); string course over arches. Low bluntly pointed cutwaters on upstream side (NW), shallow flat-fronted projections on downstream piers. Vertical stone coping atop parapet wall, date plaque on W side reads "This bridge was erected by/presentment AD 1820/John Hargraves Architect/John Hyde and Thomas Mountgom/ary Esqis/overseers".
