Description
Single-span road-over-railway limestone bridge, built c. 1875. Squared-and-snecked rubble limestone walling rising uninterrupted to parapets and battered to either side of arch, rock-faced copings to parapets. Squared-and-snecked rubble limestone abutments to embankments. Elliptical arch over track, rock-faced ashlar limestone voussoirs. Twin carriageway bitmac road. Spanning in splay south-east to south-west, Ballymote railway station to south.
Appraisal
This fine unaltered bridge is unusual for its splayed spanning of the railway. The good quality stonework is a notable feature.
