Physical Description

· The timber bridge is low scale bridge of interesting design, and;
· Poor condition but enough of the original fabric to consider for
preservation.

History

This is an early example of a timber bridge probably made by a local
farmer. Its age is unknown but has been around for many decades.
According to a Department of Environment and Conservation officer, Ian
Wilson and local resident Tom Muir who visited the bridge, it is an
interesting design and worthy of preservation if possible.
