Details	Former road bridge over the River Livet, built 1835. Now by-passed by a modern bridge. It replaced an earlier bridge upstream, which was damaged in the 1829 floods. It is a single span high rubble bridge. The tooled rubble segmental arch ring is springing from natural rock abutments. There are shallow end buttresses and later rendered cope with metal guard rail. The approximate span of the bridge is 55 feet. Not to be confused with the Old Bridge of Livet (NJ13SE0040), which is circa 300m to the North-East.
