Single-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, c.1800. Random rubble limestone walls with dressed limestone rounded coping to parapets. Single round arch with dressed limestone voussoirs, and rubble limestone soffits. Sited spanning Black Water River with part-overgrown grass banks to river.
Exhibiting a traditional construction in unrefined locally-sourced limestone, thereby producing a rustic visual effect a small-scale bridge of civil engineering interest makes a pleasing, if subtle visual statement in the landscape.
