GV II*
Packhorse bridge. C17-C18, possibly earlier. Lias. Dry stone flat bedded rubble; single span, pointed arch; rubble
voussoirs; curved abutments; parapet of undressed stone set on end, ramped up to centre. Hump backed bridge with
remains of pebble pathway. A fine example of a single span, humpbacked Exmoor bridge, unusual in that it appears not to
have been altered during the last two hundred years.
