Description
Triple-arch road bridge, built 1845, spanning Ballinadee Creek. Central camber-headed arch, flanked by smaller camber-headed arches having roughly dressed limestone voussoirs springing from rubble stone piers with V-cutwaters to west elevation of central piers . Tooled stone date plaque above keystone to central arch. Rubble stone spandrels with splayed abutments to south. Splayed rubble stone parapet walls with rendered coping.
Appraisal
A handsome bridge situated at the southern end of Ballinadee village, located at the highest point to which medium tides flow. It has an organised plan with a central arch flanked by two smaller ones, with V-cutwaters located to the upstream side to dissipate the power of the water.
