A single-span rubble-stone, double-carriageway bridge ramped to the centre. It has a wide segmental arch of narrow voussoirs, and blind roundels in the spandrels. Abutments have broad shallow pilasters flanking circular flood apertures with voussoirs and part infilled with cement render.

On both sides are curved stone approaches with copings.
Reason for designation
Listed as a substantial and well-designed Georgian road bridge in a style characteristic of the region.
