Three-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, dated 1788. Random rubble stone walls with cut-stone triangular cut-waters to piers, cut-stone date stone/plaque, and cut-stone coping to parapets. Series of three elliptical arches with cut-stone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having remains of render over. Sited spanning Nuenna River with grass banks to river.
A well-composed bridge built to designs prepared by M.J.M. Werm (n. d.) forming an important element of the late eighteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Freshford. The construction in rubble stone serves to assimilate the bridge pleasantly into the surrounding landscape while the elegant profile of the elliptical arches contributes to the architectural design value of the composition.
