What is recorded here

Double-arch rubble limestone road bridge, built c.1800, located spanning Suilane River and ancillary water course. Round-headed arches with roughly cut limestone voussoirs and rendered soffit. Rubble limestone walls rising to parapets with solider rubble limestone copings and square-headed drain openings.
The functional form of this bridge is greatly enhanced by its unusually long length and the contrast between the rubble limestone walls, large soldier copings and roughly cut voussoirs. Located spanning two water courses and an area prone to flooding, the bridge is a reminder of the pride and craftsmanship employed in such endeavours in the early nineteenth century.
