This brick bridge dates back to around 1630 according to Norfolk Heritage, whereas British Listed Building have it as early 16th century; both agree however that it is a scheduled monument. It has two arches, although BLB suggest it has four, but only one of these now crosses the stream. The bridge was repaired in 1984. On west side there is a large central cutwater with a sloping top. The water which used to flow beneath it was an outflow from the moat at Mayton Hall keeping the water fresh and to prevent it stagnating. The BLB also suggest that the bridge was built over the original course of the river, but this supposition is without any basis in fact and in fact is most improbable. The moat inflow was some distance upstream from the bridge. On each side facing the road are small shelters which may have been for the toll collector to sit.
