Description
Single-arch limestone road bridge, erected c.1860, over Clare River. Single wide segmental arch having rusticated voussoirs, coursed walls of rustcated limestone blocks, and chamfered dressed limestone parapets. Abutments are battered and of coursed rusticated limestone.
Appraisal
This is a very fine bridge of sophisticated construction and is in excellent condition. It crosses the River Clare at a slight diagonal while keeping the springing parallel to the river bank. The quality of the stonework and engineering is notable.
