Description
Single-arch rubble stone road bridge over stream, c.1800, with single-span section to east. Random rubble stone walls with rubble stone vertical coping to parapets. Single round arch with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having render over. Single flat span with dressed stone lintel. Sited spanning Ballyhale Stream with random rubble stone retaining wall to stream having rubble stone coping.
Appraisal
An attractive bridge representing an important component of the civil engineering heritage of Ballyhale. The juxtaposition of an arch and a span together with the construction in unrefined rubble stone all serve to produce a modest rustic quality in the composition that assimilates pleasantly into the surrounding landscape.
