What is recorded here
Surviving single-span of a double or multiple-span bridge, built c.1760. Spanning the River Camcor at the point before it opened out into a slightly smaller lake that forms centre of Birr Castle demesne today. Random coursed limestone walls with cut stone voussoirs to arch.
As one of a group of structures relating to Birr Castle demesne, it contributes to the setting of one of Ireland's finest country estates. With only a single arch visible today, it has modestly treated voussoirs, and is of a pleasant architectural design.
