What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1851, carrying Dublin to Galway railway line over road. Rock-faced rusticated walls, round arch with rock-faced rusticated voussoirs and soffit. Cut-stone parapet walls and string course, snecked roughly dressed abutments with dressed copings.
This robustly constructed bridge in rusticated limestone is typical of railway engineering and architecture of the mid-nineteenth-century. The rock-faced voussoirs are a distinctive feature and the rustication of the soffit of the arch is well executed, indicating the skill employed in the design and execution of this bridge.
