Full description

A bridge carrying a farm access over the line of the Cornwall Railway at 278m 45c. The bridge is a "flying arch", of bedded slatestone with cut stone voussoirs. There is a string course above the arch, a stone parapet with edge-set coping, and flanking pilaster buttresses to either side. The carriageway is inclined from west to east, giving this arch a very striking appearance on the exit from the Milltown Viaduct (JRS).
