Description
Single-arch snecked rock-faced limestone bridge, built c.1890, over Bunow River, providing access to St Cronan's Catholic church from north. Bridge has rusticated voussoirs to arch and has rock-faced piers, and parapet walls with copings. Gas lamp standards, added 1884, with barley-sugar shafts to parapet walls.
Appraisal
This bridge's fine stonework is clearly the work of skilled masons. It incorporates fabric from the cloister of a medieval friary and forms part of an interesting group of structures in Saint Cronan's Churchyard. The gas lamp standards add further interest to the structure.
