Description

The Flockton Wagonway Viaduct is a utilitarian wagonway viaduct, likely built in the 1790s for the Flockton Wagonway. It is constructed from squared stone laid in courses and measures approximately 55 meters in length. The viaduct features twenty round arches, each with a span of about 2 meters, supporting a track bed that rises to about 3 meters above the surrounding ground. The structure is approximately 3 meters wide between its low parapets and is believed to have been single tracked.

The wagonway approaches the viaduct via embankments on both the north and south sides. The viaduct itself has a very slight curve in its plan form, with the line following a gentle gradient that descends to the north. The listing includes the approach embankments at either end of the viaduct.

The arches consist of single arch rings made of roughly squared stone. The low parapets are slightly corbelled out from the face of the viaduct and, where they remain, feature thin coping stones.
