The National Monuments Service's description
Mid-/late 19th-century road bridge (Wth c. 4.5m; long axis E-W) spanning the Sheen River. Three segmental arches (span c. 12m) with dressed voussoirs, some of which protrude from face of bridge. Intervening low piers (H c. 1.5m; Wth c. 2m) with rounded cutwaters, which rise to height of piers, on upstream side; rhomboid-shaped cutwater (H 1m) abuts downstream side of W pier. Well-built random rubble abutment at both ends of bridge. Vertical stone coping on parapet walls; replaced in places with concrete. Weir immediately adjacent to bridge on downstream side.
