The National Monuments Service's description
In the 1992 report a single arch bridge crossed a stream that runs south of the nunnery (DU007-015001-) at Gracedieu. It had a semi-circular arch built of limestone blocks. Similar in make-up to the bridge further west which was dated on stylistic grounds to the 14th century (Simington & O'Keefe 1991, 171-172). Approximately 12m east of modern crossing are several courses of stone on north bank but nothing visible on opposing bank. Possibly only remains of bridge.
