Description
"The monument includes Bow medieval multi-span bridge. It lies a quarter of a mile south of Furness Abbey in a small coppice known as Ennis Wood. The structure consists of a low bridge of three arches crossing a stream. The stream at this point has a laid stone floor. The masonry consists of regular courses of hammer-dressed stones or coarse ashlar. The faces of the semi- circular arches are quite plain, and the edges square, without any mouldings or chamfer.....The bridge was constructed towards the end of the 15th century to carry the road to the abbey's New Mill, a short distance upstream. Traces of the mill- race measuring some 1m wide and up to 0.6m deep exist to the west of the bridge adjacent to a railway embankment..." -
