The National Monuments Service's description

Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Bridge'. This is an overgrown humpbacked road bridge (Wth 6m; long axis NW-SE) over an unnamed stream. The roadway is no longer in public use and is now used as farm track. The bridge comprises a single segmental arch (span c. 4.5m) with rough voussoirs which are in poor repair. A low parapet wall is evident in the undergrowth. The bridge is 18th/19th century in appearance. This bridge probably dates to the post-1700 AD period.
