Ballygriffin Bridge

Single-span limestone road bridge over disused railway line, built c. 1860. Rock-faced ashlar limestone walls, coursed to parapets and piers and snecked to spandrels, with dressed stone string courses above arch elevations and dressed stone copings to parapets. Segmental skewed arch with rock-faced ashlar voussoirs. Splayed buttressed abutments to corners of bridge. Rubble walling adjacent, forming railway line boundary.

This well-constructed road bridge over the former Fermoy-Mallow railway line has a skewed arch to enable the road to traverse the line at the least angle. It is technically interesting and shows the high level of engineering skills in use along this line during the railway era of the mid-nineteenth century. It is an integral part of the railway heritage of the line and played an important part of the heritage of the area, and continues to fulfill a social function to this day.
