Description
Three-arch rubble stone hump back road bridge over river, c.1825. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar, cut-stone triangular cut-waters to piers, and squared rubble stone coping to parapets. Series of three segmental arches with tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having lime render over. Sited spanning Finisk River with grass banks to river.
Appraisal
A well-proportioned bridge forming an attractive feature on the Finisk River. The traditional construction in rubble stone serves to assimilate the bridge into the surrounding landscape, while the profile of the arches, which have retained their original shape, confirms the technical and engineering importance of the composition.
