What is recorded here
Single-arch hump back road bridge, over River Ara, dated 1857. Roughly-dressed limestone walls with cut sandstone string course over margined rock-faced limestone voussoirs to segmental arch. Plaques to north and south parapet walls.
The simple form of this road bridge is enhanced by the textural variation created by the roughly-dressed limestone walls and the margined rock-faced voussoirs. The plaques to the parapet wall are of particular interest commemorating the country surveyor, W.H. Deane, responsible for the bridge's construction. Located within a rural setting the bridge has become an important link between newly-built houses and Shronell crossroads.
