What is recorded here

Six-arch hump back road bridge over river, extant 1838. Now disused. Ivy-covered coursed or snecked limestone walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers having grass-covered domed pyramidal capping with overgrown coping to parapets. Series of six round arches with limestone ashlar voussoirs. Set in grounds shared with Owenmore spanning Owenmore River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Owenmore estate, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the late eighteenth-century Millbrook estate with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the deep blue limestone dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arches making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Owenmore River.
