What is recorded here
Bridge in Ballitore has rough rubble walls topped with smart cut granite. It’s dressed like a man who spent his entire inheritance on a hat and now needs you to look at him strictly from the eyebrows up.
Single-arch rubble stone road bridge over stream, c.1750, with rubble stone parapet wall and cut-granite coping.
This bridge is an attractive, if subtle, feature on the streetscape of the road leading out of Ballitore to the south. The construction of the bridge is of some technical or engineering merit, while the stone work attests to the quality of stone masonry traditionally practised in the locality.
