The National Monuments Service's description
This single-arched bridge is constructed mainly of concrete with cut-limestone coping stones. A string course of limestone protruding from the concrete suggests that it incorporates an earlier hump-backed bridge. However, no features indicative of an early date are evident. A sundial (GA043-009001-) is visible on top of the SW pier.
