The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ouvrage composé de quatre arches. Les trois piles intermédiaires ont chacune un refuge triangulaire sur leur avant-bec. Les arrières-becs sont formés d'une pile rectangulaire en maçonnerie s'arrêtant à la naissance des cintres. Une seule arche tracée en tiers point parait ancienne. Les trois autres, en anse de panier, semblent avoir été refaites postérieurement. La construction est en moellons de granit. Seules les douelles des cintres sont en pierre de taille de granit.

History
Structure composed of four arches. The three intermediate piles each have a triangular refuge on their upstream end. The downstream ends are formed of a rectangular pile in masonry stopping at the springing of the arches. Only one arch traced in pointed arch appears old. The three others, with basket-handle arch, appear to have been remade subsequently. The construction is in rubble stone of granite. Only the voussoirs of the arches are in squared granite stone.
