Two segmental arches with rough-dressed voussoirs recessed below arch-rings of narrow stones in the regional manner. The upstream side has a triangular cutwater. The carriageway is slightly humped to the centre; the parapets continue eastwards for a similar distance as low walls flanking the road.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good C17 and C18 regional road bridge.
