What is recorded here

Three-arch road bridge over Loughrea River, built c.1760, southern side of bridge joins to culvert with buildings over. Round arches with tooled limestone voussoirs. Coursed rubble limestone wall at north, and coursed rubble limestone parapet walls with some render repairs. Dressed curved limestone copings, stepped at ends. Coursed limestone walls to river, with six tooled limestone steps to north-east of bridge.
