What is recorded here
Bridge in Ballyvorheen has a stone plaque placed where you cannot get near enough to read it. A magnificent way to commemorate yourself: your name preserved for centuries, your enemies unable to check the spelling.
Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c. 1820, carrying road over the River Doogleaha. Rubble limestone spandrel walls with cut sandstone voussoirs to round-headed arch. Cut limestone plaque to south-west elevation. Dressed copings to parapet wall.
The construction of this bridge exhibits the work of skilled craftsmen. This is especially visible in the stonework applied to the finishing of the voussoirs, which adds textural variation to the appearance of the bridge. Plaque on south-west elevation inacessible to read.
