Description
Three-arch road bridge over river, extant 1840. Creeper- or ivy-covered walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers having rendered pyramidal capping with overgrown rubble stone soldier course coping to parapets. Series of three round or segmental arches with granite ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Urrin River with unkempt banks to river.
Appraisal
A narrow bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the sheer granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arches making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Urrin River.
