Description

The bridge over the River Morlais, built in 1820, features a broad double span constructed from coursed rubble. It has wide elliptical arches made with dressed stone voussoirs. There is a central low cut-water with later rock-faced coping. At each end of the arches, there are three-quarter height dressed stone pilaster strips, along with a continuous string course positioned just above them. Inside the centre of the northern parapet wall, there is a datestone from 1820.
