Three-arch rubble stone road bridge over mill stream, c.1840, with ashlar voussoirs. Squared rubble stone walls. Rubble stone coping. Three round arches. Hammer dressed ashlar voussoirs. Rendered soffits. Sited spanning mill stream with grass banks to stream. Weir, c.1840, to south.
This bridge is a fine stone bridge that forms an attractive feature on the mill stream that once fed the Athgarvan Maltings complex to south (11902314/KD-23-14). The construction of the arches that have retained their original shape is of technical and engineering merit. The bridge exhibits good quality stone masonry and fine, crisp joints. The bridge is of considerable historical and social significance as a reminder of the extent of the industrial development in Athgarvan in the mid nineteenth century.
