What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge, built c. 1820, over the River Maigue. Segmental-arch openings with cut limestone voussoirs. Roughly dressed limestone spandrel walls with solider capping stones to parapet. Cut limestone U-cutwaters to upstream (south) elevation with bases encased in concrete.
The form of this bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements of the early nineteenth century. The quality of the local craftsmanship is displayed in the execution of the stonework. Differing finishes to the stonework adds textural variation to the appearance of the bridge creating visual appeal.
