Built in the C18, possibly to a design by Thomas Penson the elder, and repaired under contract dated 1st May 1799.
Built of local stone rubble. A single segmental arch with rubble voussoirs without a pronounced keystone, and a projecting regulating course, the ends sharply curving round to end piers. The parapet is undifferentiated from the spandrels, and has a C20 weathered concrete capping with painted steel railings. Six iron tie bars through the spandrels terminate in rectangular plates.
Included as a fine example of a medium sized later C18 country bridge, probably replacing a ford.
