What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1820, over stream. Random rubble walls, tooled voussoirs to arch rings with random rubble intrados, and field stone to parapet walls. Random rubble stepped retaining walls to banks with culvert under adjacent road. Random rubble walls to east.
Although modified to carry the Galway to Headford road, this bridge still retains its character, and has evidence of past repairs to the parapet. The skilled work of the craftsmen is still evident in the tooled voussoirs of the arch rings.
