Description
Sipton Bridge, built in the early 19th century, is a bridge made of coursed rubble. It features a tall round-headed arch, with the upper part open and the lower part enclosing a lower elliptical tunnel that has a paved invert, allowing the stream to flow through. The low transverse walls and buttress-like features in the open upper section of the main arch suggest that some form of metal bracing may be encased in the masonry. Above the arch, there are three iron ties. The bridge has flanking pilasters and a simple flat coping on the parapet.
