Details Bridge, still in use, built in 1802-05 when the road was moved to the south, replacing the earlier bridge to the north (NJ75NW0098). It is a high single span buttressed bridge that is constructed from rubble with tooled rubble dressings to the arch ring and parapet cope. There are winged abutments, substantial stepped buttresses against the east side and bulky flying buttresses at the west flanking the arch ring. The bridge is now heavily coated with modern harl, and has an approximate span of 13 metres (43 feet).
