Bridge across River Dart. C14 or 15, widened in early C19 and early C20. Local grey limestone rubble with some red sandstone and granite.

Basically the bridge has four round-headed pointed arches, the voussoirs of which seem to be of two alternating types of stone. C20 arches segmental, with cutwaters both sides; on the cutwaters stand semicircular buttresses rising level with tops of parapets. Mentioned as 'Dertebrygg' in Assize Rolls for 1356.
