Probably 18th century. Single segmental-arched, slightly humped bridge over Deskry Water, sited immediately to E of Rippachie Farm and Mill at E parish boundary. Snecked rubble with voussoirs, flat-coped parapet, squared rubble base under arch, single cutwater to SW and slightly splayed approaches.
The East Bridge at Rippachie is one of a very few surviving early bridges in the parish. Severe flooding in 1829 caused the loss of all but two bridges on the River Don and may have impacted on those over the lesser waterways. There were originally two bridges at Rippachie, hence the 'East Bridge'.
