What is recorded here

Two-span concrete road bridge, built c.1920, over Killian River. Concrete deck supported on rendered support walls with cement reinforced parapet above. Triangular cutwaters to central support wall. Rendered walls to parapet between square cement rendered piers with chamfered pier caps, projecting string course at base and chamfered cement coping. Set in rural landscape with wire and post fences to adjacent fields.

This concrete bridge is set in a rural landscape and is a physical remainder of the development of Irish bridge engineering. As the cost of reinforced concrete reduced as the twentieth century unfolded, it became a more cost effective and efficient way to rapidly construct bridges. A simple design of flat concrete deck and rendered parapet, this bridge is a interesting contribution to the industrial and engineering heritage of the area.
