What is recorded here

Single-arch stone railway bridge, built 1849, carrying embanked Dundalk to Enniskillen line over roadway to neighbouring corn mill. Round arch having rock-faced rusticated voussoirs and chamfered impost course. Cut-stone abutments having rock-faced rusticated quoins. Brick soffit to arch. Cut-stone walls, with chamfered string course to parapets. Splayed buttressing walls with cut-stone copings to embankments.
The simple form of this bridge, along with the articulation achieved through stone dressing, is typical of several railway bridges on this railway line and displays skilled stone masonry. It is a visual reminder of the Great Northern Railway which closed in the mid-twentieth century.
