What is recorded here

Double-arch limestone road bridge over Awbeg River, built c. 1750, rebuilt 1811, with flood arch to north, now refaced in concrete. Random rubble limestone construction with cut limestone plaque to east parapet, and concrete reinforcement to piers. Recently rebuilt random rubble limestone parapet walls to north arch. Roughly-dressed limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches and concrete V-cutwaters to west elevation. Bridge widened on north-west, upstream, side.
This bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the early nineteenth century. The bridge is of solid rubble limestone construction with dressed limestone voussoirs. An attractive carved limestone plaque remains to the east parapet wall of the bridge. The bridge was widening in 1811, having been narrower, perhaps indicating an earlier date.
