What is recorded here

Single-arched road bridge over small stream/river, built c.1800. Constructed using rubble limestone with dressed limestone voussoirs to the arches and roughly dressed limestone coping over parapets. Sited adjacent to a rural road junction with parapet wall to the east side of bridge angled along with road alignment. Located to the west of Tyrrellspass.

A well-built small-scale bridge, which retains its early form and fabric. The cut stone voussoirs were the work of skilled craftsmen. The form of this bridge is slightly unusual in that one of the parapet walls has a distinct ‘kink’ along its length following the alignment of a road junction. This bridge is very typical of the many small-scale bridges that were built by the Grand Juries to improve the transport system in Ireland, particularly during the late eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, a period of relative economic prosperity. This single-arch road bridge is part of the local infrastructure and as such is of social significance.
