What is recorded here
Humpback four-arched stone road-over-river bridge, built c. 1750, crossing the River Dee. Coursed rubble stone spandrels and parapets, vertical coping to parapets, Random rubble stone voussoirs to arches, concrete to bases c.2000. Rounded cutwaters to south. Bitmac road surface to single carriageway.
The apparent age of this bridge is evident in its rubble stone construction with some iron pins remaining as evidence to the methods of construction used. The skill and quality of its design can be seen in its excellent state of preservation, the bridge has remained virtually intact and in continuous use for over two centuries and serves as an important crossing over the River Dee into the small village of Drumcar.
