Squared stone walls with stone copings, modified by some later work on bridges. Lock approximately 20m long by 5m wide, with 2 pairs of original timber lockgates, balance beams and paddle gear, all of unusual design for the Stroudwater Canal lock system. Two later bridges not of special interest. This is a major historical survival, intact and in remarkably good condition.
