Description

Appraisal
A fine example of one of the series of bridges spanning An Sulán [Sullane River]. Its design and construction is a testament to nineteenth century craftsmanship. Centrally located within Baile Bhuirne [Ballyvourney] it is a reminder of the provisions which were made in the nineteenth century to improve trade and communications.
