Description

This bridge, located about 50 metres south-west of Kentsford Farmhouse, is likely of late Medieval origin. It is constructed from red sandstone and blue lias squared and coursed rubble, featuring remnants of saddleback coping. The bridge has two spans with segmental-headed arches, measuring approximately 9 metres in length and 1 metre in width, and was partially covered by ivy during the survey in December 1983. The south front center displays a reset red sandstone cross, about 600 millimetres high, with a chamfered section of shaft from another structure below. The lower section of the cross is situated beneath the path that runs alongside the bridge, and both elements appear to be reset medieval work.
