What is recorded here

Single-arch rubble limestone road bridge, built c.1810. Round arch with roughly-dressed voussoirs, roughly coursed walls and rubble stone approaches, with replacement copings of beach cobbles and rubble stone to parapets.
This attractive bridge is situated in a picturesque location near Cleggan Bay. It has a simple classic design that is enlivened by the lighter-coloured voussoirs.
