Description
Single-arch road bridge over mill race, extant 1840. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls with rubble stone soldier course coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with part creeper- or ivy-covered voussoirs. Sited spanning mill race with grass banks to mill race.
Appraisal
A bridge representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the construction in unrefined local fieldstone, but also by the gentle "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over a mill race channelled for Andrew Jameson (----) of nearby Daphney Castle (see 15701939).
