What is recorded here

Two-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, c.1800. Random rubble stone walls with rubble stone coping to parapets. Pair of segmental arches with rubble stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning Ballyhale Stream with grass banks to stream.

A picturesque low-slung bridge forming an important element of the civil engineering heritage of Ballyhale. The construction in unrefined rubble stone produces an attractive textured, almost rustic visual effect serving to integrate the bridge pleasantly into the surrounding semi-rural landscape.
