Description

Appraisal
Located on the Multeen River this bridge is an attributed to the county's first surveyor and engineer Samuel Jones. The bridge exhibits the employment of skilled masons in both its construction and finishes through features such as the commemorative wall plaque and the margined voussoirs. The importance of the bridge locally is reflected in the addition of a recent wall plaque.
