Semi-circular arch, tooled ashlar voussoirs alternately projecting from the . Squared rubble copings to parapet, lower squared rubble lining with splayed concrete capping to inner faces of parapets, passing recesses in centre of bridge. Bitmac slightly-humped single-carriageway, narrow grass verges. Spanning from south-west to north-east over Ballaghnatrillick River.
This is a particularly attractive bridge with an elegant arch and fine cut-stone alternating voussoirs is located in a spectacular setting with mountains rising behind to west.
