Description
Single-arch rusticated limestone railway bridge, built c. 1860, carrying road over Cork-Youghal railroad. Rock-faced rusticated walls with rusticated string courses, and copings.
Appraisal
Evidence of highly skilled craftsmanship in its stonemasonry. The rustication to sting course and coping finished with a straight edge to the corners, enhancing and emphasising the formal properties of the structure. Heavy rustication giving an impression of strength.
