A humpback road bridge (Wth 5.4m; long axis E-W) connecting Muckross demesne to Brickeen island between Lough Leane and Muckross Lake. It is currently used as a pedestrian bridge on a walking route in Killarney National Park.

Sloping buttresses and terraced walls flank the arch on the upstream and downstream sides.
