The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A small skewed semicircular arch carries a single-lane road over a small stream. It is of random rubble construction, with split random rubble voussoirs. The parapets have been rebuilt in the recent past and now have 'crenellated' copings. The abutments have been footed with concrete and the inside face of the arch gunited.
