What is recorded here

Single-arch railway bridge, built c.1860, carrying Athenry to Tuam Railway line over road. Segmental arch having rusticated limestone voussoirs, snecked limestone walls and abutments, curved coping stones to abutments. Tooled limestone copings to parapets.
The use of rock-faced limestone in this railway bridge accentuates its imposing form and its construction is typical of mid-to-late nineteenth-century railway engineering and architecture in Ireland. The contrast between the snecked limestone walls and rusticated limestone voussoirs adds visual interest to the bridge.
