What is recorded here

Single-span cast-iron and limestone road bridge over the River Killeenagarriff, built in 1818. Comprising cast-iron balustrades with scrolled brackets and soffit having raised lettering and quatrefoil motifs. Pair of square-profile limestone piers to east and west.
This slightly humpback bridge, built by Sir Matthew Barrington, is a notable example of an early nineteenth-century cast-iron bridge. The scrolled brackets, quatrefoil motifs and raised lettering, enliven its functional form. Built with high quality materials, the bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of nineteenth-century engineering craftsmanship.
