Description

Limestone railway bridge, built c.1880, over Athenry to Claremorris railway line. Walls of large blocks of rusticated limestone, with similar voussoirs to arch, sloping approach walls and parapet copings.

Appraisal

This very intact limestone railway bridge exemplifies the confidence of nineteenth-century engineers and the high quality of local building materials.
