Description
Single-span cast concrete road bridge, dated 1898, over Bunow River, with rusticated limestone piers and cast-iron railed parapet.
Appraisal
Clearly the work of skilled craftsmen, the rock-faced stonework adds textural interest to this modest bridge. Concrete construction dating from this period is unusual in Ireland. The cast-iron plaque reads: 'Burgoo Bridge, 1898, J.O. Moynan Esq, County Surveyor, Ross & Walpole Ltd, Contractor Dublin'.
