Appraisal
Located in a rural area, this modest but robust bridge is an appealing landmark with its small but well-crafted arches. Still fulfilling its vital function of spanning a stream on a rural road, this early-nineteenth century bridge demonstrates quality craftsmanship and engineering. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map, surveyed 1833.
