What is recorded here

Single-arch humpback limestone railway bridge, built c. 1862, with rusticated walls with dressed stringcourses, impost course and copings. Rusticated voussoirs to segmental-headed arches. Ashlar splayed abutments to north and south elevations.
The Great Southern and Western Railway Company erected a number of high quality railway bridges in the nineteenth century. This bridge is no exception, displaying high quality craftsmanship apparent in the rusticated walls and ashlar abutments. This bridge forms part of the Charleville to Patrickswell line and was opened in 1862 by the CLDR (Cork Limerick Direct Railway). It was also part of the important Charleville Junction where the Charleville and Patrickswell branch joined the main Dublin to Cork line.
