What is recorded here

Five-arch masonry road bridge, built c.1780, over the River Figile. Dressed limestone blocks, regularly laid. V-cutwaters to upstream and downstream. Semicircular profile arch. Finely dressed limestone voussoirs. Spandrels and parapets of random rubble. Slight curve to deck.
The combination of random rubble and dressed limestone used in this bridge provides textural variation. Located on the Figile River adjacent to Millgrove House and the site of the associated corn mill south of the bridge, the bridge forms part of an interesting group of related structures. It is one of five five-arched bridges in the county.
