Single-arch railway bridge, built c. 1862, over the Patrickswell to Charleville railway line. Coursed rock-faced limestone walls and parapets, with rock-faced voussoirs to segmental-headed arches, and having cut limestone copings to parapet. Ashlar limestone to soffit. Rubble limestone approach walls to bridge terminating in square-profile piers.
This bridge is a notable example of railway engineering and construction. It was on the Charleville and Patrickswell branch of the Great Southern and Western Railway Line. The rock-faced limestone walls contrast with the cut limestone copings to create textural variation in the bridge's appearance. The bridge forms part of a group of structures associated with the now disused railway station.
