Description
Five-arch road bridge over River Multeen, built c. 1820, with flood arch to south. Coursed rubble limestone walls, having ashlar V-shaped cutwaters to east elevation. Round central arches and segmental end arches, with dressed limestone voussoirs.
Appraisal
This humpback bridge, carried on well-constructed, high arches with well-carved ashlar voussoirs is of immediate apparent engineering skill and design. The ashlar V-cutwaters are skilfully built and together with the voussoirs they form a textural contrast between the rubble limestone walls which adds further interest to the structure.
