Description
Single-arch road bridge over Dublin-Cork railway line, built c. 1850. Snecked limestone walls with full-height buttresses flanking arch, having rock-faced string course and coping to parapet walls, dressed to carriageway elevations. Elliptical arch with rock-faced voussoirs and dressed stone impost course.
Appraisal
A simply-proportioned bridge which retains the original profile of its arch. High quality craftsmanship is evident in the detailing of the rock-faced voussoirs, string course and coping.
