What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge over river and former millrace associated with derelict corn mill to the north (13314007), built c. 1800. Built of roughly coursed limestone construction, having cut limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches and concrete cutwater to southwest elevation. Parapet wall to the northeast corner now partially collapsed. Located to the west of Barry.
This simple but attractive road bridge exhibits fine craftsmanship and spans a small stream and millrace associated with a ruinous corn mill (13314007) located to the north. It was probably originally constructed during the late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth century, a period which saw a great deal of bridge building in Ireland, particularly by the Grand Juries (the forerunners of the County Councils). This bridge and the mill buildings to the north form a pleasant feature in the landscape, together they form an interesting part of the architectural heritage of the village of Barry.
