This is a scheduled ancient monument. It was once thought to be a pack horse bridge, but was later identified as an aqueduct formerly carrying a leat in a system of irrigation for water meadows along the River Wey, which is crossed here. Mid 17th century, restored in the 1970s. It is beside the later road bridge for the old London Road, now bypassed. There is a very helpful information board nearby.
