Description
Single-arch road bridge over river, extant 1839. Part creeper- or ivy-covered coursed rubble stone walls with overgrown coping to parapets centred on projecting pedestrian refuges. Single segmental arch with granite ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Urrin River.
Appraisal
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of north County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the silver-grey granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Urrin River.
