An historic bridge with a 59 ft span segmental arch of squared, coursed sandstone masonry over the White Cart Water. The roadway is on a downwards gradient from west to east and is 10 ft wide between parapet faces. Three iron tie bars through the crown and spandrel walls probably date from the 19th century.
A small flood relief semicircular arch on the downstream face of the east abutment bears the date 1624.
