Single-arch road bridge over stream, extant 1902. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls between part creeper- or ivy-covered battered abutment walls with lichen-covered coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with lichen-spotted "Old Red Sandstone" ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning stream.
A bridge representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of the outskirts of Duncannon with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the "Old Red Sandstone" dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over a minor stream.
