Description
Single-arch road bridge, built c. 1850, spanning Meenatomish River. Round-headed arch with roughly squared rubble stone voussoirs, rubble stone piers. Limestone rubble stone parapet with occasional red brick inclusions and rubble stone coping. Deck paved with tarmacadam.
Appraisal
A simple mid-nineteenth century bridge, possibly built as a Famine relief scheme, as not shown on Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837. Its rustic quality enhances its setting in a spectacular landscape.
