What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1860, carrying road over Kilcrow River. Dressed snecked limestone walls with cut-stone string course. Segmental arch with cut-stone voussoirs and dressed stone soffit and abutments. Rubble stone parapet walls with dressed coping stones. Dressed stone revetments to river bank to south.
A good example of a mid- to late nineteenth-century bridge, the result of engineering and drainage developments in the area. The snecked parapet walls contrast pleasingly with the smoothness of the well cut stone to the walls and voussoirs. The short parapet walls are a subtle marker of the boundary between townlands.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
