What is recorded here

Bridge in Clintstown has a humped back and iron plates holding the stonework together: a bridge wearing braces. Since it dates from 1788, let it wear what it likes. At that age, keeping the road up is enough; nobody’s asking it to touch its toes.
Single-arch rubble stone hump back road bridge over river, built 1788. Random rubble stone walls with cast-iron tie plates, and rendered rounded coping to parapets over rubble stone construction. Single segmental arch with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having remains of render over. Sited spanning Nuenna River with rubble banks to river.
A simple bridge forming an appealing element of the late eighteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Freshford. The construction in rubble stone serves to assimilate the bridge pleasantly into the surrounding landscape while the elegant profile of the arch contributes to the architectural distinction of the composition.
