Description
Three-arch road bridge over River Multeen built c. 1820. Coursed rubble limestone masonry walls, having dressed V-plan cutwaters to west elevation with pyramidal caps. Segmental arches flank central round arch, with cut limestone voussoirs.
Appraisal
The form of this slightly humpbacked road bridge is enhanced by the textural variation created by the rubble stone walls and the dressed voussoirs. The solid construction of the bridge is evident in the thickness of the walls which is counterbalanced by the graceful curve of the arches. The functionality of the design is enlivened by the finely crafted cutwaters.
