History
Probably a County bridge of the C18.

Axe-dressed rubble stonework with a projecting course on the extrados of the arch and at the base of the parapets. The voussoirs are varied in depth with deeper stones at the abutments and the least deep stones at the crown of the arch. Low parapets about 5 metres apart with thin flat coping stones.
