What is recorded here
A road bridge (Wth 7.5m; long axis NE-SW), built of random ashlar, spanning the Loo River. The single segmental arch (span c. 10m) has cut and dressed voussoirs and is flanked on each face by a pair of full-height pillar-buttresses. There is a projecting string course at the base of the parapets. The parapets have vertical stone coping. The NE ends of the parapet walls splay outwards to accommodate the wider approach road. There is a lintelled overflow arch on the flood plain to the NE of the bridge.
