What is recorded here

Freestanding triple-span humpback road bridge, built c. 1820, spanning the River Maigue. Camber-headed arches with tooled limestone voussoirs and dressed stone soffits springing from dressed rubble stone piers. Tooled limestone quoins and recent render skirting to bases of piers with bowed tooled limestone cutwaters surmounted by bowed dressed rubble stone cutwaters. Rubble stone spandrels, abutments and parapet walls with rubble stone coping. Rendered basins to channels and tarmac road to carriageway.
Ballybane Bridge is a fine example of bridge engineering with three well executed arches. The bridge utilises high quality materials including tooled limestone to enhance the visual appeal of its arches. The bowed cutwaters further enhances the visual appeal of this attractive bridge.
