What is recorded here

Triple-arch bridge, built c.1790, carrying road over Dromore River. Round arches with roughly dressed stone voussoirs, roughly dressed stone V-cutwaters to both north and south elevations. Rubble stone walls and parapet walls, with vertical rubble coping stones.
This is a long low bridge which makes an interesting feature in the landscape due to the turning approach roads which afford interesting views of it. The fact that the road accommodates this bridge with a bend on either side is indicative of its early date, a time when skewed arches had not yet been attempted in road bridges. The small arches create an appealing profile, and the rubble stone walls add textural interest.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
