What is recorded here

Double-arched skewed road bridge over small stream/former mill race, built c.1850. Built of rock-faced limestone. Parapets on a shallow curve with heavily rusticated capping stones over. Rusticated limestone voussoirs to arches. Located to the west of derelict corn mill (15401706).

A well-built and unusually complex small-scale bridge of mid nineteenth-century appearance. The two arches are set diagonally across the line of the road to allow the water course/mill race to flow with ease. The good quality heavily rusticated masonry is a typical feature of the Board of Works bridges that built in great numbers throughout the midlands between c.1847-60, suggesting that they may have been responsible for its construction. It represents an important element of the civil engineering Heritage of County Westmeath and is an attractive structure in its own right.
