What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1869, carrying Ennis-Athenry railway line over road. Currently disused. Segmental arch with rock-faced rusticated voussoirs. Rock-faced rusticated snecked ashlar walls and parapets, with rock-faced projecting copings. Snecked cut-stone soffit.
This simple railway bridge stands as a testament to the skill of stonemasons working on Victorian railway lines. The rock-faced stone gives an overall impression of strength and permanence, contrasting pleasingly with the smooth walls on the inner face of the arch, while the interlocking style of the snecked ashlar walls enlivens its elevations.
