What is recorded here
Single-arch bridge, built c.1790, carrying road over River Finn. Round arch with peck-dressed sandstone voussoirs and gunnelled sandstone soffits. Coursed rubble sandstone to spandrel and parapet walls, having rock-faced rusticated sandstone copings. Square-plan rubble stone pier terminating north end of west parapet wall.
The simple form of this bridge is enhanced by subtle tooled stone detailing to the voussoirs and coping to parapets, the latter rendering the bridge easily identifiable from the road. Spanning a relatively small river, this bridge is a reminder of the craftsmanship employed in such endeavours in the early nineteenth century.
