Description

Single-arch bridge over railway line, opened 1867. Coursed or snecked rock faced limestone ashlar walls with margined rock faced cut-limestone coping to parapets. Set spanning lifted railway line.

Appraisal

A bridge identified as an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Kilkenny on account of the connections with the development of the Kilkenny Junction Railway (KJR) line opened (1867) by the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway (WKR) Company (established 1845).
