What is recorded here

Single-arch masonry bridge, built c.1795, over the Grand Canal, with splayed abutments terminating in limestone piers and a limestone string course. Located west of the Kilbeggan branch of the Grand Canal. Random coursed limestone walls with squared limestone voussoirs, piers, string course and coping to parapet. Situated beside the 21st lock on the Grand Canal.
This bridge in Ballycommon is a good example of canal architecture. It makes a positive and attractive addition to the canalscape and is an important piece of architectural heritage associated with Ireland's inland waterways. Together with 21st Lock, Campbell Bridge, Ballycommon Bridge and the lock keeper's house, they form a significant group of canal architecture.
