What is recorded here

Three-arch hump back road bridge over river, extant 1838. Coursed rubble limestone walls centred on outline of triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (north-east) elevation retaining abbreviated pyramidal capping with lichen-covered hammered limestone "battlemented" coping to parapets. Series of three segmental arches with tooled cut-limestone voussoirs. Sited spanning Trimoge River with unkempt grass banks to river.
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of the rural environs of Bohola with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the construction in unrefined local fieldstone offset by "sparrow pecked" 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 Trimoge River.
