What is recorded here
Single-arch road bridge over Ballintroohan River, built c. 1800. Segmental arch with squared rubble stone voussoirs. Random rubble to vaults. Random rubble walls and piers. Random rubble parapets with smooth rendered coping. Double carriageway with tarmac to deck.
A simple, attractive bridge with early masonry skills evident in its construction. It is very similar in style to other bridges in the area including Moglass Bridge (40901229), Milltown Bridge (40901217), and Drumnagassan Bridge (40901237), and thus constitutes an integral part of the area's historic environment and complements its rural setting well. After over two centuries of use, its continued use is testament to its design and construction. The bridge is marked and named on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837.
