History
Probably C18 and described by Thomas Pennant in 1781 as 'a bridge of 2 arches over a deep and black water'. The SE abutment may be earlier. The roadway was widened, probably in the C19, to provide walkways, and the parapets were corbelled out and rebuilt.
Exterior
Two-span bridge of random stone with slightly humped deck. Wide segmental arches of stone voussoirs with dripmoulds; triangular cut-waters between arches. The parapets are corbelled out and are supported by the cut-waters and iron girders. Copings of large dressed stone blocks with chamfered top edges; high pyramidal stones above cut-waters. Metal railings to walkways, fixed to inner sides of parapets. Abutments of rubble stone, slightly splayed out; butt joints to SE abutment suggesting it could be earlier.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine C18 bridge in a rural setting retaining its character.
