Road bridge, gently cambered, built of local shale rubble with single wide semi-elliptical arch of thin rubble slabs springing from ground level with a projecting regulating course. Spandrels rise uninterrupted to parapets with oversailing copings. The parapets curve outward at each end.
Reason for designation
