What is recorded here

Freestanding single-span road bridge, built c.1885, spanning former railway line. Square-headed arch with cast-iron beam lintels and concrete deck, springing from rubble limestone piers, flanked by rubble limestone abutments. English bond red-brick parapet over deck with header red brick coping. Rubble limestone parapets over piers and abutments with round-headed render coping and red brick quoins.
This bridge was built in conjunction with a collection of similarly designed bridges spanning the railway line between Clonakilty and Clonakilty Junction, which was open from 1886 to 1961. A fine bridge with striking red brick parapets, it is a reminder of the extent of the rail network in the past.
