This bridge is not the scheduled one.
Now modern concrete but has two brick arches remaining, probably 17th or 18th century.
At west end remains of a tank obstacle.

The tank obstacle consists of two common anti tank blocks of about 1940 on either side of bridge. Part of Bure defensive line.
Survey No. G4-4.
Information from (S1). See record form in file.

In fact the brickwork of the bridge is likely to be 18th/19th century. It is however an interesting example as the two side arches are circular 'pipes' of brickwork. Tank trap still present.
