Each beam is a dressed granite unchamfered 4- centred arch, corbelled at the springing over straight ashlar abutments, The bridge was widened on the downstream south side with massive roughly-hewn granite blocks. The parapets on both sides are also made of massive rough granite blocks. The bridge spans Polwheverell stream which flows into Polwheverall Creek, a tributory of the Helford River. There is a contract of 1572 between the parish and Roger Hallard, a mason of Tregoney. Source: Charles Henderson. A History of the Parish of Constantine in Cornwall. pages 17 and 20 C.
