What is recorded here

Double-span limestone road-over-river bridge, built c. 1830. Uncoursed rubble walling rising uninterrupted to uncapped low parapets. Semi-circular arches, roughly-dressed voussoirs, semi-circular battered cutwaters to both sides. Single carriageway deck, gravelled verges. Spans south-east to north-west over narrow stream. Located in flat scenic landscape.

This bridge retains its original form and materials in spite of clumsy recent renovation. Semi-circular cutwaters add to the bridge's interest.
