Description
Chapel Hill Bridge is a possibly late 18th-century bridge that was altered around 1866. It features two spans with segmental arches and a heightened parapet, along with a splayed central cutwater. The structure is built from coursed rubble, with ashlar voussoirs and coping on the cutwater.
On the east and west elevations, there are two segmental-arched spans, which are flanked by diamond-shaped cutwaters. The bridge includes plain rubble spandrels, piers, and abutments, as well as a plain high rubble parapet with roughly hewn coping along its full length. There are no terminating piers; the wall simply finishes. The road surface is tarmacadam, with later tarmac pavements on either side.
