The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A small semicircular span (c.2.4m width) carries a two-lane road over a stream. The arch springs directly from the stream bed. Rusticated sandstone voussoirs. The body of the bridge is of random squared sandstone rubble. The parapets have large coping blocks, rusticated to all visible faces, as are the end blocks. There is a small weir immediately downstream.
Historical information
First appears on the 1859 OS 6" map, indicating a mid 19th century construction date. Identical to a nearby bridge over the same stream (HB12/01/016).
