Double-arch bridge, built c.1790, carrying road over Lennan River, comprising two river arches, one wide segmental and other smaller slightly pointed segmental, and having two small flood arches to northwest, one at river bank and one further from river. Random rubble walling and parapets, latter with copings of large field-stones, and with field-stone voussoirs. Flanked by rubble stone walls.
Bellaned Bridge is a well-constructed structure, with an elegant and notably wide segmental arch and several other smaller arches. Its intactness is a testament to the craftsmanship of local labourers in the early nineteenth century. It forms a fine landmark in the local landscape.
