Red brick arch, otherwise rubble limestone with ashlar sandstone dressings. Single-span basket arch carrying farm track over a gully; twin parapet walls with planting beds between. Arch has ashlar springers and alternately-raised, block-bonded brick voussoirs; band beneath coped outer parapet walls terminating at square end piers with domed caps; inner parapets line the farm track and curve to meet the end piers. Impressive landscape structure of the estate now despoiled by tipping in the gully. Campsmount, home of the Yarborough and Cooke-Yarborough families was demolished in 1959.
