Single-arch stone road bridge, built c. 1935, over the River Glyde. Squared coursed roughly dressed limestone walling, rock-faced terminating piers and stringcourses to east and west elevations, ashlar limestone parapet wall terminating with rock-faced stepped caps to piers; segmental-arch, rock-faced voussoirs. Cobbled pavement c. 2000 to east and west of bitmac roadway.
Built in 1935 to replace an earlier structure this fine bridge attests to the skillfulness of its builders. The varied treatment of the stone is attractive making it an appealing addition to the small village of Mansfieldstown, it is an attractive bridge making a positive addition to both the streetscape and riverscape.
