"Road bridge. Mid-late C18 or earlier, with C19 alterations. Coursed and squared rubble sandstone with dressed block to parapets walls and ashlar copings. Wide, single span shallow arch, with embanked and ramped abutments with stone facings. The arch is formed of 2 tiers of thin rubble voussoirs, with rubble spandrel infill, which support more precisely coursed dressed masonry parapet walls. The bridge spans the River Lowther, which formes the boundary between the parishes of Lowther and Yanwath and Eamont Bridge. An impressive and little - altered road bridge of vernacular origin and scale, later enhanced when in estate ownership. See also Lowther Parish ( item 1266/9/10008 )."
