This appears to be a very old bridge, perhaps over a hundred years old, way in the back of Kirby's Mill NRHP site. Recently, it seems the bridge arches have been shored up underneath with concrete lining the stone arches. The top of the bridge has planks made from recycled plastic, similar to Trex. The bridge has four arches and is between fifteen and twenty feet and maybe 5 to 6 feet wide.. Large stone coping runs along both sides. The bridge crosses over the south branch of the Rancocas Creek.
