Appraisal
A well-built and attractive small-scale bridge, which retains its early form and fabric. This bridge is very typical of the many small-scale bridges that were built by the Grand Juries to improve the transport system in Ireland, particularly during the late eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, a period of relative economic prosperity. This bridge may have some relationship to the former saw mill (15400202) adjacent to the southeast This single-arch road bridge is part of the local infrastructure and as such is of social significance.
