Exterior Description And Setting

Three flat spans carry a one-and-a-half lane road over a stream. Each span, which is less than 2m in width (and therefore, more properly a culvert), has a flat stone head. The two small piers advance slightly beyond the lintels and have rounded ends. The upper section of the structure is of squared sandstone rubble. The parapet is coped with finely dressed blocks in slightly paler sandstone. A short distance to the west, two flat spans carry the main road over another stream. The abutments, pier and heads are of concrete. The upper section is of squared rubble with oversailing coping stones.
