Roughly shaped blocks of granite to the piers with 3 rough granite lintels. 3 spans. This bridge is one of the medieval routes across the moor from Exeter to Tavistock. Grade II* listed. http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?resourceID=5&uid=92789 Road bridge, late C18. Granite rubble. 3 round arch spans which have projecting keystone, central arch taller. Small triangular cutwaters. Cranked parapet with roughly shaped coping stones and slightly swept-out abutments.
