What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge over Dromore River, built c.1830. Elliptical arches with cut peck-dressed limestone voussoirs, and squared coursed and snecked rubble stone soffits. Squared limestone parapet walls, with rusticated copings, stretching to north and south, covering extensive flood plains to east and west. V-shaped cutwaters of coursed squared stones to east and west elevations.
Located south-west of Ballybay, this bridge over the Dromore river is a landmark in this rural landscape. This well-executed stone bridge is a picturesque landmark on the river, employing local materials in its construction, with cut limestone to the voussoirs, soffits, spandrels, parapet wall and buttresses. That the bridge remains in use in its present form is testament to the quality of its construction.
