Description
Three medieval pack horse bridges, as described above, and centred at SJ 4766 6568, SJ 47656572 and SJ 47736573. The eastern bridge is approached from the East side and linked to the centre bridge by raised, stone-revetted causeways surfaced with cobble stones.
The bridges have been strengthened by the addition of a further arch of stone and have otherwise, together with the causeways, been restored and are now in an excellent state of condition. They are an outstanding example of this class of antiquity.
The bridges are approached by a narrow hollow way to the East, a quarter-mile long.
