Lower Creedy Bridge. Road bridge over River Creedy. Probably late 18th-early 19th century. Volcanic rubble with volcanic ashlar dressings; granite ashlar coping. Single span bridge comprising a plain segmental arch with volcanic ashlar voussoirs springing from low flat-topped abutments projecting each side diagonally from the bank. Walls are carried up to parapet which is capped with granite coping which is weathered each side and possibly reused since it includes the settings for iron railings. The parapet ramps up towards centre following the line of the road.
