What is recorded here
Ballymacward Bridge has three arches over its little river, with the northern one blocked. Two arches doing the work while the third has secured an office.
Three-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1800, over unnamed river. Northmost arch now blocked. Round arches with dressed limestone voussoirs to arch rings. Random rubble stone to spandrel panels and parapets, with coping stones set on edge. Random rubble walls leading from bridge along roadsides.
This simple bridge enhances the local rural setting and utilises local stone in its construction. The simple masonry work is well executed.
