Five round arches; larger central arch with raised keystone and flanking pilasters and smaller arches to left and right with flush keystones. Parapet with string course and coping. Pair of probably mid-C19 square limestone ashlar gatepiers adjoining to the south-west forming the entrance to the entrance courtyard in front of the North Lodge (q.v.); each with chamfered plinth, moulded cornice and globe finial. The bridge is probably part of the work carried out at Cornbury for the Earl of Clarendon by Talman in 1689.
