Description

The railway bridge at SW 556371 is a road bridge over a railway cutting that disrupts an ancient earthwork. It was built in 1852 for the West Cornwall Railway.

The span is elliptically arched with battered abutments, and it includes a cambered parapet above, with the ends of the parapet returned and iron railings at three ends.
