The National Monuments Service's description

A random rubble road bridge (long axis E-W) spanning the Quagmire River. It has four segmental arches with roughly shaped voussoirs; the second arch from the E is slightly pointed on the upstream side but this may be due to collapse. The W arch (span 6m) is dry. Corbels project from the springing points of the arches. There are three low pointed cutwaters on the upstream side of the piers (Wth 1.1m) and rectangular projections on the downstream side. The arches are underpinned with concrete and the parapet walls are largely of concrete.
