Description

Footbridge and sheepwash. Late C17. Dressed coursed rubble. Foot bridge with single arch and parapet to each side. The western arch with groove for shutter. Below the bridge is a rill, being paved, with a wall extending from the left which drops down, further extends and curves around. The wall on the right is lower and is broken by a small flight of stone steps which run at a sharp angle to the wall. The angle between the steps and the wall contains a stone trough. At the other side of the steps the wall continues in a semi-circular curve, there is then a small straight section with grooves for a shutter and finally a section where the wall curves around similarly to the left side. The water drops down steeply just before the flight of steps. Next to the steps and placed in the centre of the rill is a large oval stone container. (NCC/js)
