What is recorded here

Single-span segmental-arched sandstone road bridge, built c.1800, over watercourse, with overgrown mill pond to west. Gently sloping deck with random rubble stone parapets, spandrels, and wing walls having Scotch coping. Arched opening formed of punched ashlar voussoirs over dressed corner blocks. Rubble stone soffit and abutments. Walls overgrown with vegetation.
A well-composed bridge with an elegant cut-stone arch set in robust rubble elevations, forming a contrast of high aesthetic quality. Though overgrown, the bridge is very much intact and retains all of its original materials. Historically associated with a mill pond, a mill race, a former flax mill, and a long-demolished corn mill along the stream, the bridge is part of a wider ensemble of structures of industrial heritage interest. Historic Ordnance Survey maps indicate the presence of a holy well to the south-east of the bridge.
