Description
Single-arch road bridge over railway tracks on Cork/Youghal line, built 1859, having snecked rock-faced rusticated limestone walls, platband and copings. Segmental arch with rock faced rusticated limestone voussoirs, with red brick construction visible to soffit. Flanking quadrant walls of coursed rock-faced limestone construction to east and west elevations.
Appraisal
Robust road bridge built in conjunction with the opening of the railway line through Carrigtohill in 1859. It is a fine example of the quality of craftsmanship employed by Great Southern Railways in the construction of their utilitarian structures throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century.
