Description
A bridge in uncoursed hammer-dressed masonry of local sandstone, with two low segmental arches each of about 5 m span, and cutwaters both upstream and downstream. The voussoirs are deep and rough. The bridge crosses the stream at about 30 degrees. Above the cutwaters are pedestrian refuges with some additional corbelling (on the downstream side) to support them. Some masonry on the downstream side is apparently a repair, in a different stone.
The whole bridge including its long N approach is about 100 m in length, and 3.6 m wide between the parapets. The road is carried at a high level above the adjacent fields to be clear of the water level at spring high tide.
The bridge parapets have upright coping stones weathered outwards, and bond-stones into the mass of the parapets at intervals. There is a stile and steps down to the right bank below the bridge.
