What is recorded here

Single-arch hump-backed stone road bridge, built c.1750, carrying road over Glennamought River. Coursed rubble stone construction with cut-stone voussoirs to arch. Random rubble parapet with rendered segmental coping. Tarmacdam carriageway.
Blackstone Bridge is typical of the many modest rural road bridges constructed in the country as part of road transport developments in the eighteenth-century. Its simple though robust construction attests to engineering skill of the time. It has remained largely unchanged.

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