The monument consists of the remains of a bridge, dating to the medieval or post-medieval period. The bridge has a single segmental arch without parapets. It spans c. 10m and is c. 3m wide, springing from vertical abutments with splayed sides. The monument is now ruinous, although structurally sound.

It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. The structure itself may be expected to contain archaeological information concerning chronology and building techniques.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
