What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1855, over mill race. Wide segmental arch with crisply cut voussoirs, roughly cut-stone walls, and with rusticated blocks to parapets.
This is a good example of the type of bridge built in the mid-nineteenth century as part of the programme of river drainage in County Galway. Its limestone work is of good quality and is an attractive feature in the local landscape.

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