What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1869, carrying road over Ennis-Athenry railway line. Snecked rock-faced rusticated stone walls and parapets having recent render copings, arch flanked by pilaster-like buttresses. Dressed stone abutments with tooled rusticated stone copings. Tooled rusticated voussoirs and ashlar soffit to elliptical arch.
Serving an important practical function, this bridge is also an aesthetically pleasing example of the skill of stonemasons in the mid-nineteenth century. The elliptical arch is well crafted with margined voussoirs and the flanking buttresses and abutments enhance the symmetry and setting.
