Ballinamore Bridge

Single-arch bridge over river, dated 1842-3. Ivy-covered walls with overgrown stringcourses supporting dwarf parapets having lichen-spotted tooled cut-limestone rounded coping centred on benchmark-inscribed drag edged cut-limestone date stones ("MDCCCXLII [1842]"; " MDCCCXLIII [1843]"). Single round arch with rusticated limestone ashlar radiating voussoirs. Sited spanning Geestaun River or Pollagh River with unkempt banks to river.

A bridge representing an important component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of the rural environs of Kiltimagh with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the sheer limestone dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a dramatic visual statement at a gorge-like crossing over the Geestaun River or Pollagh River: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
