What is recorded here

Single-span railway bridge over river, opened 1895; extant 1895. Closed, 1975. Now disused. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone piers with lichen-covered drag edged rock faced cut-limestone capping centred on riveted cast-iron lattice girder parapets. Sited spanning Geestaun River or Pollagh River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo on account of the connections with the development of the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line by the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company, the so-called "Burma Road" opened (1895) in response to Arthur James Balfour's Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889.
