What is recorded here

Triple-arch stone hump backed road bridge, built c.1750, spanning Annalee River, with adjacent single-arch stone bridge over mill race to east, built c.1800. Random-rubble stone spandrel walls and parapets with Scotch copings. Roughly dressed uneven voussoirs to segmental arches, with taller and wider arch to centre. Wide piers with low rubble-stone cutwaters and rendered caps to south face. Mill-race bridge having a rendered parapet rounded on top over string course with coursed stone spandrels and evenly cut voussoirs.
The bridge is distinguished by its graduated arches, wide piers, cutwaters to one elevation only. At road level it has a gentle hump to the deck which has a strong expression in the parapets. The treatment of the mill-race bridge contrasts significantly with the earlier bridge, having carefully dressed voussoirs and coursed stone to the spandrels. The ensemble presents an interesting contrast between road bridge construction types and functions, and contributes to the understanding of county's civil engineering heritage.
