Description

Appraisal
This well-executed bridge with its fine rubble stone walls and dressed voussoirs is an important feature of the surrounding area. The use of local materials in its construction helps the bridge to blend into its surroundings. It is a technically impressive structure that forms an important crossing point over the Owennagearagh River.
