What is recorded here

Three-arch road bridge over river, built 1848. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (west) elevation having lichen-spotted domed pyramidal capping with rubble stone coping to parapets. Series of three segmental arches with tooled granite ashlar crow stepped voussoirs centred on tooled cut-granite keystones. Sited spanning Boro River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the "sparrow pecked" granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arches making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Boro River.
