What is recorded here

Single-arch hump back road bridge over railway line, dated 1894; opened 1895; extant 1895. Mass-concrete walls[?] centred on date stone ("1894"). Single segmental arch with red brick block-and-start surrounds. Sited spanning overgrown railway line with unkempt grass embankments to railway line.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo on account of the connections with the development of the Waterford Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line by the Waterford Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company, the so-called "Burma Road" opened (1895) in response to Arthur James Balfour's Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889.
