Description

Keybridge Bridge is a road bridge spanning the Delank River, dating from the early 17th century or possibly earlier. It is constructed from moorstone and features dressed stone arches. The bridge is narrow, measuring 8 feet in width, and has two arches with spans of 12 and 14 feet. The arch on the southeast side is pointed, while the northwest side has a round arch. A cutwater is situated between the arches, which extends upwards to form a refuge. The parapet has granite coping, although the parapet wall on the northeast side has been rebuilt.

Additionally, there is a granite sundial post from the 17th century set into the southwest cutwater. This sundial is a granite monolith with a square base and top, and it has chamfered edges along its stem.
