Appraisal
Marble Bridge, situated in the former Ravensdale House demesne, is a finely dressed limestone bridge that stands as testament to the highly skilled craftsmanship available in the late-eighteenth century, the curling terminating piers on the parapet are a notable and unusual feature. The bridge's survival is evidence of the high quality of design and construction utilised.
