What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge, built c. 1880, carrying a road over the River White. Rubble limestone walls having V-plan buttresses flanking central segmental arch. Roughly-dressed tooled limestone voussoirs and roughly dressed limestone copings to parapet walls.
As well as providing a necessary practical function, this bridge is a focal point on the landscape. The single wide arch displays technical skill in its construction.
